Do you know Valerie Steele?

Valerie Steele is director and chief curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she has organized more than 20 exhibitions since 1997,She is also founder and editor in chief of Fashion Theory:  The Journal of Dress, Body & Culture.Fashion Theory takes as its starting point a definition of ‘fashion’ as the cultural construction of the embodied identity. The importance of studying the body as a site for the deployment of discourses has been well established in a number of disciplines. Until Fashion Theory’s launch 11 years ago, the dressed body had suffered from a lack of critical analysis. Increasingly scholars have recognized the cultural significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also such body alterations as tattooing and piercing. She was Listed in New York Daily News as one of Fashion’s 50 Most Powerful People and i think it’s really true because the fashion is something that affects everyone and everything being in constant evolution and affects the lives of many people.
