This RRG is a forum for discussion and debate around the themes of clothing and fashion. Clothing is a daily practice for all of us, a core part of our social and personal identity, endlessly contested and debated. It is also a behemoth industry with problematic facets, such as labour exploitation, waste and pollution. This research groups aims to bring together staff and students interested in a range of themes in the rich subfield of the anthropology of clothing as it relates to other anthropological concerns, such as gender, identity, economics and religion. Research and reading themes include, but are not limited to, the role of clothing in the everyday construction of identity, dress and gender, clothing and subculture, traditional dress, high-end fashion, street fashion, religious dress (in particular debates and conflicts over Islamic dress), the impact of the fashion industry on climate change, labour exploitation in the fashion industry and the recycling of clothing and textiles. Cross-cultural comparisons and reflections on clothing and fashion in different regions of the world are particularly encouraged. As the RRG progresses, there will be chances for members to focus on areas of particularly interest by suggesting readings and topics for debate.
