Fashion Education explores how the classroom can transform the
fashion industry towards body inclusion and social justice. The
book is a collection of 16 essays by fashion educators from
Australia, Canada, the US and the UK who recount their experiences,
struggles and strategies of reimagining the exclusive foundation of
fashion pedagogy and redesigning fashion curricula to centre
Indigenous, Black, brown, fat, disabled, trans and queer
worldviews, histories and bodies. This is the first book to explore
the relationships between fashion pedagogy and social justice, and
to map out new pedagogical frameworks and tools to redistribute
power through fashion education. It shares the teaching practices
of fashion educators implementing radical pedagogies and offers
practical case studies that engage with a number of intersectional
positions. Fashion Education engages with current pressing concerns
for educators and is a valuable teaching resource for fashion
educators – both theory and practice – working in art and
design schools in Europe, the US and the UK. With chapters
covering fashion theory, history, business, communication and
design curricula to centre Indigenous, Black, brown, fat, disabled,
trans, queer worldviews, histories and peoples it will appeal
directly to the many disciplines within fashion. The discussions
are also relevant to educators in other art, design and creative
fields also looking to centre inclusion in their courses and the
strategies presented will apply to them. Contributions from Tanveer
