Viscose Journal Issue 1 Style

The very first issue of Viscose tackles the expansive notion of “style.” Both a noun and a verb, style can be understood as the most basic unit or currency of fashion. Style names the very movement of aesthetics in society, and thus holds an important place in the critique of art and visual culture more broadly.As a verb, it connotes a tactic: a dynamic tool for persuasion and communication through the bricolage of signifiers. It also relates directly to the contemporary profession of “styling;” a practice native to the fashion industry, but increasingly prevalent across the arts, media, consumerism, and politics. This issue of Viscose sets out to critically gesture to all of these connotations and their potential intermingling through concrete case studies and cross-disciplinary philosophical speculation.

Viscose Journal

Viscose is a journal for fashion criticism. Launched between Copenhagen and New York in 2021, the irregular periodical publishes critical writing and research projects by a wide range of authors from the worlds of art, fashion, literature, and academia. Though specially edited thematic issues conceived in partnership with institutions and museums, Viscose gives space to projects that challenge and expand the possibilities of research, practice, and critique of fashion.

Viscose is 100% ad-free, and its past issues have been supported by the Nordic Culture Fund, the Danish Arts Foundation, S.C. Van Fonder, and Design Trust Hong Kong. It is proudly co-published by the International Library for Fashion Research in Oslo, Norway.
