Volume 14 On the Publication Series We are pleased to present this new volume in the publication series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. The series, published in cooperation with our highly committed partner Sternberg Press, is devoted to central themes in contemporary thought about art practices and art theories. The volumes in the series comprise collected contributions on subjects that form the focus of discourse on art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and represent the quintessence of international study and discussion taking place in the respective fields. Each volume is published in the form of an anthology edited by staff members of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Authors of high international repute are invited to write contributions dealing with the respective areas of emphasis. Research activi- ties such as international conferences, lecture series, institute-specific re- search focuses, or research projects serve as the points of departure for the individual volumes. With this book we launch volume 14 of the series. Aesthetic Politics in Fashion illustrates how fashion can be discussed at the nexus of design, art, politics, and globalism. In this sense, the concept of fashion is seen from the perspective within the arts (as opposed to the cultural industries), enabling insights often neglected in publications on the cultural significance of fashion.
