“Add-Dressing Margins”: Historically Underrepresented Fashion and Style

“Add-Dressing Margins”: Historically Underrepresented Fashion and Style is an ADH International Hybrid and In-Person Conference & Workshop at Philadelphia, PA, USA, Drexel University, 26-28 October 2023.

For this conference, we seek to center work focusing on historically marginalised communities, fashion, style, and dress in historic and modern contexts. Our intention is to show the myriad ways marginalised communities engage with the fashion system such as in everyday contexts and/or means of resistance. We are seeking scholarship that centers marginalised identities and those who have often been marked as “other” or outsiders.

Call for papers for this event closes on 1 August 2023.

The full programme will be announced once the call has closed and the presenters have confirmed.

Special focus workshops included in the event:

• Sneaker Culture

• Understanding Transgender

• Filipino Culture & Dress

• Queer Style
