Transformations
On Thursday 24th and Friday 25th March 2022, the MA in Fashion Studies at The New School Parsons Paris organizes the fourth edition of Printing Fashion. This year we host different round-tables, lectures and conversations around the theme of transformations. The printing publishing industry has suffered a radical shift in the last twenty years and the advent with the digital has forced the different practices and actors – from production to distribution and consumption – to rethink themselves. This year we will reflect on a variety of transformative practices including the passage from print to digital, the transformative powers of making a magazine, the role of printed matter and collecting in the construction of identities, the activation of printed matter via technological innovations in fashion libraries, the role of graphics and art direction in materializing ideas. This year we will investigate all these shifts particularly reflecting on the contemporary transformation of the discourse in fashion media with an increasing affirmation and attention on issues of inclusivity and identity politics.
