It is with great pleasure that we present the much-awaited new issue of ZMJ, dedicated to fashion and communication, edited by Daniela Calanca and Grazia D'Annunzio. Never has the imagery of fashion transcended the specific sectors it represents. Indeed, the aesthetic research that characterizes our age finds in the mechanisms of fashion the place of most immediate learning, the center of personal and collective identity formation. An imaginary universe of possible individual and social choices, fashion is "a means of mass communication that reproduces and spreads according to its own modalities and, at the same time, enters into relations with other mass media systems" (Patrizia Calefato, Mass moda. Genova: Costa e Nolan, 1996. p. 6-7). Precisely because fashion is communication itself, indirect, ambivalent, but timely and pervasive, it can be more effective than traditional methods of communication. The essays we present in this issue explore the different, aesthetic, and political angles of fashion communication, its recent evolution - museums, exhibitions, journalism, and various forms of representation - and its growing influence in culture and society. We wish everyone a good read and a good summer. (Editorial)

Dear All, we are glad to announce that the new issue of "Rethinking Fashion Brands in The Era of Digital Media" is out!

"Issue 11.1 of ZMJ is dedicated to the relationship between fashion and digital, in particular to the process of mediatization, that is to the cultural and social transformations induced by the media. A topic that is, it would not even be necessary to underline it, of crucial importance in this historical period in which all forms of digital have become accentuated or even have taken new directions - from magazines, to fashion presentations, to the ways of communicating. [...] The editors, Mariachiara Colucci and Marco Pedroni, thanks to their complementary experiences, economics and business management on the one hand - sociology of communication on the other, propose for this issue of ZMJ a careful selection of essays aimed at representing the quality, the variety and the global perspectives of fashion branding in the digital age."

For Issue 11/2 ZMJ, ZoneModa Journal aims to encourage an innovative debate within fashion studies on the interactions between the worlds of fashion and tourism.
From an academic point of view, both the fashion and tourism industries are considered a field of studies. In other words, they are two complex topics of research requiring interpretation and analytical frameworks from different and often quite distinct disciplines.
What are the interactions between these two sectors, and how can the multidisciplinary approach help read the many different social, economic, and cultural dimensions they intersect? How have these interactions changed in an age of strong dematerialization of experience due to the pandemic?
