Fashioning Theory: A Critical Discussion of the Symbolic Interactionist Theory of Fashion

Rachel K. Pannabecker

Kauffman Museum, Bethel College, North Newton, KS 67117

This essay responds to the symbolic interactionist theory of fashion by Kaiser, Nagasawa, and Hutton in terms of fashion history research, theory construction, and interdisciplinary investigation of fashionable behavior. Concerns regarding assumptions about past fashion and theoretical premises are analyzed, even as the provocative questions that the theory poses for studying fashion in its contexts are affirmed.

Key Words: Key Words: fashion • symbolic interaction • theory • history.
