Fashion Highlight

Aims & Scope

Fashion Highlight is an academic journal dedicated to research in the field of fashion design, with a perspective that investigates both the conception, design, production and communication of the fashion product, and its cultural, aesthetic and technological implications. Fashion is a constantly evolving sector, capable of reflecting and influencing the transformations of society through design, innovation and experimentation. The journal welcomes studies that explore fashion design in its many forms: from the design and production of fabrics, garments and accessories, to the analysis of applied materials and technologies, to connections with related disciplines that enrich the sector, such as communication, economics and social sciences. Although rooted in the field of fashion design, Fashion Highlight recognises the value of transdisciplinary intersections, welcoming contributions that broaden the understanding of fashion as a cultural, economic and technological phenomenon. The aim of the journal is to offer a space for discussion for researchers and professionals, also thanks to its open access mode, investigating emerging trends, design innovations and transformations of the fashion system in local and global contexts. Fashion Highlight thus proposes itself as a point of reference for the scientific debate on fashion design, combining academic rigour and openness towards the transitions of the present and the future.
