Education holds the potential to reinforce systems and to revolutionize them.

Fashion education has served and fed the current global fashion system.

It has also inspired and driven change in the fashion system.

What kind of fashion education is needed NOW?
  • What kinds of fashion education are needed to build a more inclusive, just and beneficial (fashion) system?
  • What kinds of fashion educational practices exist, can we share to learn from each other, and can we build together?
  • How can we turn our reflections into actions?

These three questions lead the second Multilogue on Fashion Education 鈥 A Conference on Learning and Teaching Fashion in Theory and Practice. While the first Multilogue 2020 brought us together, created multiple dialogues and initiated some collaboration, this year鈥檚 two-day global conference is focused on building and acting together 鈥 on the connective, constructive and transformative forces of fashion education.

Over the past thirty years fashion has significantly changed as an idea, professional practice, field and industry. The global fashion system has seen extreme acceleration due to processes of technological permeation, globalization and marketization. Part of this change is its considerable digital reach. As educators and practitioners of fashion we face a vacuum concerning its meaning, as well as closely related, complex social, cultural and environmental questions, especially in times of global health, climate and democracy crises. At the same time, fashion education has expanded substantially. Yet this field remains underanalyzed with few publications and little formalized professional development, connection and discussion. There are growing quantitative and qualitative discrepancies between education, fields of activities and societal relevance and responsibilities.

We believe that fashion education is interdisciplinary, connective and experiential. It can foster creative as well as critical thinking and making, transcending the boundaries of its field. It can challenge and transform economic and political systems, systems of thought, value systems and fashion systems in their interrelatedness.

The Multilogue on Fashion Education 2021 aims to explore the overarching themes and some of the following questions through papers, workshops, project presentations, panel discussions, roundtables, exhibitions and a student think tank:

  • What does fashion education mean in different places, defined by local cultures, traditions and industries that are globally connected and dramatically changing?
  • How can different fashion educational approaches and practices learn from each other?
  • What can we learn from other educational fields and practices?
  • What should students of fashion be able to do, what should they know, experience and value?
  • What are constructive and transformative contents, methods and outcomes in learning and teaching fashion?
  • How do we make fashion education more inclusive and diverse?
  • How can we create a constructive understanding and interplay between practice and theory?
  • How can we create a reasonable interplay between fashion and technology, the physical and digital in and through education?
  • What relationships does or should fashion education foster with the fashion industry?
  • How can we seize the visibility of fashion, its transformative power, its potential as social intermediary?

The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education 2021:听A Conference on Learning and Teaching Fashion in Theory and Practice is a participatory and outcome-oriented space focused on the learning and teaching of fashion at tertiary level. It aims听to explore and illustrate the diversity and complexity of the field and the practices of fashion education.听This conference thus seeks to inspire mutual learning, collaborative research and shared action 鈥撎齠ashion educations for NOW.'
