Subculture Style Innovation | Conversations on Dress | Costume Society of America

Costume Society of America Roundtable: Subculture Style Innovation This installment of the CSA Roundtable series will discuss aspects of diversity within studies of dress as panelists consider the realm of music and youth-oriented subcultures and related communities, from Goth to Rave, Lolita to Mod and beyond. The experts on our panel share a vast knowledge and a deep concern to preserve the stories and artifacts of these outsider lifestyles that drive innovative design and impact the wider mass culture. There is vast intersectionality in studying subculture where women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ have been actively involved, but those stories are often not the first documented or recorded when studying this area, and there thus exists tremendous potential for this field to grow.
