London College of Fashion is proud to announce the Fashion Media: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow conference which brings together the leading minds and voices in fashion research and practice to explore and debate the key issues facing fashion imagery and communications today and consider them in relation to historical and future media cultures.
Programmed by Dr. Djurdja Bartlett and Professor Penny Martin and held at the college’s Oxford Circus site over two days, the conference is structured around a series of provocative, 20-minute ‘position’ papers debating themes such as questions of national identity in historic magazine culture; masculinity and criminality in male dress; ethnicity and propriety in fashion representation; quality control in digital innovations and the future of online fashion.
Recognising the burgeoning research interest in fashion media among undergraduate and postgraduate students, there will also be a Pecha Kucha session for postgraduate students and early career researchers to present their projects. The two days will culminate in an industry panel representing leading figures from print, online and film-related fashion cultures.
The conference boasts an excellent group of international and domestic speakers including: Valerie Steele of Museum at the FIT, New York; Charlotte Cotton of the National Media Museum, London; Rebecca Arnold from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London; Prof. Alison Clarke, University of Applied Arts, Vienna; Barbara Vinken from the University of Munich; Friedrich Weltzien from the Academy of Fine Arts, Berlin; Simona Segre from IULM, Milan and IUAV, Venice; Alistair O’Neill from Central Saint Martins, London and Val Williams of London College of Communication. From the LCF host college are: Reina Lewis, Agnès Rocamora, Nilgin Yusuf, Sarah Cheang and Shaun Cole.
Tickets cost: £25 for the two days and £15 for one day.
A full programme and ticket booking details will follow soon.
