RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Lingham, VanessaYR 2014 T1 Exploring the fashion identity of Gypsy and Traveller women: Research problems and processes JF Fashion, Style & Popular Culture, VO 1 IS 3 SP 395 OP 412 DO https://doi.org/10.1386/fspc.1.3.395_1 PB Intellect, SN 2050-0734, AB Abstract This article explores the crucial issues of identification, access, participation and documenting addressed within the research design and methodology for my M.A. thesis. Within my thesis I questioned whether English Gypsy and Irish Traveller women’s style-fashion-dress can indeed be culturally defined and fixed collectively by cultural definitions, which are so often deemed to be set by terminology. Reflecting on some of the ‘novice’ research dilemmas I faced within the field of Gypsy and Traveller Studies this article is about first approaches to ethnographic research specifically for new fashion scholars, like myself, engaging with ‘minority’ fashion studies., UL https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/fspc.1.3.395_1
