Fashion Archive, Curation & Mediation Lab
The Fashion Archive, Curation & Mediation Lab explores the cultural scope of fashion archives (public and private), fashion publications, fashion exhibitions and performances through the investigation, problematization and re-animation of European and Parisian experiences. The aim is to develop a series of research seminars, symposiums, talks, publications and exhibitions to rethink the mediation of fashion in the contemporary scene and further explore the current state of practices such as fashion publishing, exhibiting fashion as well as the cultural relevance of archives as spaces where fashion is produced, conserved, communicated, disseminated, performed and institutionalized.
