  • 'Perfect Fit': Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity
    ‘Perfect Fit’: Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity Culture in Fashion Television Helen Warner Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Film and Television Studies Submitted July 2010 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. Helen Warner P a g e | 2 ABSTRACT According to the head of the American Costume Designers‟ Guild, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, fashion is emphatically „not costume‟. However, if this is the case, how do we approach costume in a television show like Sex and the City (1998-2004), which we know (via press articles and various other extra-textual materials) to be comprised of designer clothes? Once onscreen, are the clothes in Sex and the City to be interpreted as „costume‟, rather than „fashion‟? To be sure, it is important to tease out precise definitions of key terms, but to position fashion as the antithesis of costume is reductive. Landis‟ claim is based on the assumption that the purpose of costume is to tell a story. She thereby neglects to acknowledge that the audience may read certain costumes as fashion - which exists in a framework of discourses that can be located beyond the text. This is particularly relevant with regard to contemporary US television which, according to press reports, has witnessed an emergence of „fashion programming‟ - fictional programming with a narrative focus on fashion.

    1212 What Does Race Have to Do With Ugly Betty? An Analysis of Privilege and Postracial(?) Representations on a Television Sitcom Jennifer Esposito he term “postracial” has been utilized in increasing amounts in the media to denote Tsome people’s perceptions that the election of Barack Obama marks a new era in our society—one in which race no longer matters. This notion, while perhaps well-meaning, contradicts the very ways our society is structured. Race is an organizing principle (Henry 1995) in institutions such as government, schools, and popular culture. We cannot think or even act without racial categories becoming prominent. ... One place where racial discourse is especially powerful is within the institution of popu- lar culture. We must continually critique and examine representations of racialized bodies, especially those bodies already marginalized within the system of racial hierarchies. In the spirit of continuing the examination of racial discourse, this chapter examines ABC’s televi- sion comedy Ugly Betty, in particular one episode that explores race-based affirmative action decisions and quotas (“When Betty Met YETI”). This episode of Ugly Betty aired two weeks after the 2008 election of Barack Obama. ... Ugly Betty, Privilege, and Affirmative Action Betty Suarez, the fashion-challenged heroine of ABC’s sitcom Ugly Betty, works as an assis- tant to the editor of Mode, a high-fashion magazine. Part of her job entails meeting the mul- tiple personal and professional needs of her boss, Daniel Meade, an irresponsible sex addict. From Esposito, J. (2009). What does race have to do with Ugly Betty? An analysis of privilege and postracial(?) representations on a television sitcom.
