"Critical Studies in Fashion and Beauty" focuses on issues of power, social positioning, ideologies and practices within the web of relationships between creators, producers, practitioners and end-users of fashion. This book explores the contemporary meanings of masks, masking and masquerade. The editors argue that these concepts have been transformed over the centuries but they continue to serve as useful tools for critical cultural analysis. The history of fashion is a story of codification of visual appearance as a measure of rank and power. Historically it has been expressed in ways that secure a hegemonic reading of fashion signification as follows: 1) controlling what one can wear: Powerful agents (parents, pedagogues, religious leaders) or institu-tions (schools, army, religious institutions, civil service, health service, private enterprises) prescribe uniforms or ways of dressing and set rules for appropriate dress (manners and etiquette regarding what materials and styles are suitable for particular times and places). 2) controlling the gaze: Powerful agents (in homes and institutions, people with elected or appointed authority, celebrities) are usually the ones controlling the gaze in the sense of surveillance. But they are also the focus of the gaze in the sense of being in the public eye, and being publicly visible). What counters these forms of hegemonic control is masking in its various forms as a conscious or unconscious form of behaviour. Masking provides a strategy for deconstructing meaning by reclaiming control over the construction of meaning. This it achieves by creating a space for resistance that is independent from either social prescriptions or the controlling gaze. It is in this sense that masking is deployed in this volume by the various authors. Masking operates in two ways: (1) by adding ambivalence to dress codes, and (2) by increasing the gap between dress as a signifier and the social reality it signifies. Ambivalence is the result of blurring the clear unambiguous links between fashion and the social reality it indexes. It introduces a contextual and negotiated element to the meaning of clothing symbols over time (as in the shift in attitudes to fur from a sign of opulence to a sign of animal cruelty), or across increasingly fragmented social groups with their distinctive and fast-changing codes (Davis 1992; Tseelon 1989, 2012). The second way in which masking resists the hegemonic meanings of fashion is captured in my analysis (Tseelon [1995] 2000a) of fashion signification inspired by Baudrillard s concept of simulacra. Using a linguistic analogy to analyse commodities, Baudrillard outlined a genealogy of sign structures consisting of three orders. The first order, founded on imitation characterizes the pre-modern period and presupposes a dualism where appearances reflect reality. In the second order, founded on production, appearances conceal reality. In the third order, founded on simulation, appearances deconstruct reality. No longer concerned with the real, the visual code is subverted from a language to a playful spectacle. It is this lack of a reference point that threatens the distinction between true and false. "Fashion and Masquerade" showcases the articles from the third volume of Intellect s journal "Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty." "

Masquerade, both literal and metaphorical, is now a central concept on many disciplines. This timely volume explores and revisits the role of disguise in constructing, expressing and representing marginalised identities, and in undermining easy distinctions between 'true' identity and artifice. The book is interdisciplinary in approach, spanning a diverse range of cultures and narrative voices. It provides provocative and nuanced ways of thinking about masquerade as a tool for construction, and a tool for critique. The essays interrogate such themes as: *mask and carnival *fetish fashion *stigma of illegitimacy *femininity as masquerade *lesbian masks *cross-dressing in Jewish folk theatre *the mask in seventeenth and eighteenth century London and nineteenth century France *the voice as mask.

- This book zooms in on Ensor's ideas around the masquerade, (false) coquetry, seduction, deception and the ephemeral - The publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name at MoMu Antwerp, from September 2024 to February 2025 - A whole new perspective on Ensor's oeuvre and his influences to this day - An ode to the painters of fashion: the craftsmanship and inexhaustible creativity of make-up and hair artists in a book where light, color, art, fashion and make-up meet Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor transposes Ensor's ideas around the masquerade, (false) coquetry, seduction, deception, the artificial and the ephemeral to today. MoMu (Fashion Museum Antwerp) celebrates the painters of fashion: the craftsmanship and inexhaustible creativity of make-up and hair artists in a book where light, color, art, fashion and make-up meet. Make-up and beauty have today become a trillion-dollar industry that confronts man with his physical mortality, imagined imperfections and existential fears. But make-up, like paint, is also a form of personal expression, artistic experimentation, joy and freedom. Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor explores how closely make-up is intertwined with many aspects of our humanity.

For at least two centuries, fashion and art have maintained a competitive love-hate relationship. Both fashion and art construct imaginary worlds, and use a language of style to invigorate beliefs, perceptions and ideas. Until now the crossovers of fashion and art have received only scattered treatment and suffered from a dearth of theorization. As an attempt to theorize the area, this collection of new and updated essays is the most well-rounded and authoritative to date. Some of the world's foremost scholars in the field are assembled here to explore the art-fashion nexus in numerous ways: from aesthetics and performance to masquerade and media. Original and inspiring, this book will not only secure 'art-fashion' as a discrete area of study, but also suggest new critical pathways for exploring their continuing cross-pollination. Fashion and Art is essential reading for students and scholars of fashion, art history and theory, cultural studies and related fields.

Masked and costume balls thrived in Russia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries during a period of rich literary and theatrical experimentation. The first study of its kind, The Modernist Masquerade examines the cultural history of masquerades in Russia and their representations in influential literary works. The masquerade's widespread appearance as a literary motif in works by such writers as Anna Akhmatova, Leonid Andreev, Andrei Bely, Aleksandr Blok, and Fyodor Sologub mirrored its popularity as a leisure-time activity and illuminated its integral role in the Russian modernist creative consciousness. Colleen McQuillen charts how the political, cultural, and personal significance of lavish costumes and other forms of self-stylizing evolved in Russia over time. She shows how their representations in literature engaged in dialog with the diverse aesthetic trends of Decadence, Symbolism, and Futurism and with the era's artistic philosophies.
