Steele’s keynote addressed recent and emerging issues in fashion
studies, focusing on exhibitions. Historically, fashion exhibitions tend to
be chronological or retrospective narratives by large individual
designers; however, there are many other important aspects that are set
aside. Her talk, “Deconstructing the Canon,” was delivered in English, with
simultaneous translation.
