Vestoj is a forum where academia, the museum world and the fashion industry can work together and with active communication. We write about the cultural phenomenon that is fashion in a manner that opens up for dialogue between theory and practice in order to raise awareness for fashion as a cultural phenomena and field of research and cultivate an even greater understanding for the discipline. Vestoj will exist outside of seasonally-based trends and news-focused articles. Instead we aim to encourage and champion the critical and independent voice within fashion as well as absolute creative freedom. In order to ensure that we remain free in thought and action Vestoj will have no advertising. Published annually, Vestoj focuses solely on sartorial matters, bringing together academia and industry in a bid to combine academic theory, critical thinking and a bit of good old fashioned glamour.

Anna Pook Literary Editor
Anna has always enjoyed storytelling, first on stage and now on paper. After originally training as an actress, she today teaches the curious creative writing at the legendary bookstore Shakespeare and Company in Paris. Anna is English but loves Paris and, as you might expect from a literary editor, she enjoys reading and writing just about as much as she loves tea, cake and a good proper chat about life and love.
