本作は、ロラン・バルトが論じた「書かれたファッション」の特異性や、ドロシー・ヒューズが指摘したライティングの儚さ、そして女性の営みとして分業化されてきた歴史的背景を紐解きながら、ファッション産業内外における言葉の批評的効果を掘り下げています。2024年6月にオスロの国際ファッション研究図書館(International Library for Fashion Research)で開催された展覧会「Writing Fashion」と連動して共同出版されたもの。産業的プロモーションの枠組みからファッション批評を切り離し、言語とファッションの交差点を探求した一冊です。

Issue 06 of Viscose Journal, a fashion criticism journal based in New York and Copenhagen. In our current image-driven era, this issue focuses on the theme of "TEXT," highlighting the realms of words and writing that have continuously served as the driving force in transforming clothing into "fashion." By unpacking the specificities of "written fashion" discussed by Roland Barthes, the ephemerality of writing noted by Dorothy Hughes, and the historical background of its division of labor as a distinctively female practice, this publication delves into the critical effects of language both inside and outside the fashion industry. Co-published in conjunction with the exhibition "Writing Fashion," held at the International Library for Fashion Research in Oslo in June 2024, this volume seeks to detach fashion criticism from the frameworks of industrial promotion to explore the intersection of language and fashion.
