T7 Ep. 6 Dressing Woman: Fashion Criticism
In this episode, writer Vanessa Rosales talks to Dr. Francesca Granata about the recent publication of her revolutionary book «Fashion Criticism: An Anthology», the first compilation that gathers a diverse array of critical writings on fashion and style. They talk about her work in the field of Fashion Studies, and about the sense of «hybrid imagination» – as Roasales calls it – that the knowledge produced in this territory can entail and require.
They talk about Granata’s ongoing interest in understanding the process of legitimization for fashion criticism, the ways it has shifted historically and some of the particular manners in which media and context have shaped it. They discuss contemporary and historical tensions, the inevitable relation to neoliberalism, publicity, what it takes to be a fashion critic and what his or her role may be today. They briefly reflect on the topic in a Latin American context as well.
