Event overview
What could fashion education look like if we reconnected theories with practices, empathy with aesthetics and trends with their social and cultural contexts?
Join us for a day of participation, inspiration and discussion with the aim of building a community of practitioners and researchers fostering new cultures of 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?
Bring a garment that reminds you of a positive fashion moment/experience.
