Djurdja Bartlett

Historian

Dr. Djurdja Bartlett is Reader in Histories and Cultures of Fashion at London College of Fashion (LCF). She has widely published and lectured on the theme of fashion during socialism and post-socialism. Bartlett is author of FashionEast: The Spectre that Haunted Socialism (2010) and editor of the volume on East Europe, Russia and the Caucasus in the Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion (2010).

Funded by an Arts and Humanities Research Council Fellowship grant, Bartlett's research project took her to seven countries–Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Russia–with the aim of exploring previously unrecorded, dress-mediated discourse between East Central European and Russian fashion, and its western counterpart throughout the 20th century to the present day. From that historical and comparative analysis, the research investigated how fashion adjusted to but also influenced, social, political, cultural and aesthetic movements.

Bartlett was coordinator of the Fashion Media and Imagery Research Hub at LCF (2009-2017), in which capacity she co-organised a conference - Fashion Media: Yesterday Today Tomorrow (October 2010), published as an edited book, Fashion Media: Past and Present (2013). Bartlett became the coordinator of Transnational Fashion Hub at LCF in 2017, in which capacity she organised an international conference on Fashion and Politics (LCF July 2017), expanded and published as the edited book Fashion and Politics (2019).
