Event overview
Join the Fashion Research Unit for a day of participation, inspiration and discussion with the aim of developing new approaches for fashion education.
It is clear that we must cultivate new ways of thinking, doing and being fashion to shape a future in fashion that is innovative, inclusive and interdisciplinary. If we are to support creative practitioners – designers, writers, thinkers and curators etc. – to actively challenge traditional boundaries we will need to move beyond current fashion education models and explore the politics and complexity of fashion. What could fashion education look like if we reconnected theories with practices, empathy with aesthetics and trends with their social and cultural contexts? How can we teach fashion as a collective process beyond the seasonal and the hierarchies and re-imagine fashion as a mode of togetherness?
Join us for a day of participation, inspiration and discussion with the aim of developing new approaches for fashion education. The morning session will consist of short provocations by students, educators and practitioners followed by an afternoon of workshops in themed groups.
Please RSVP to fashion@gold.ac.uk by Tuesday 1st September 2015. All welcome.
