The Fashion Dialogue is part of the [re]Framework of MINDFASHION.today and takes place during the 10th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival ‘Fashion My Religion’ (15 – 17 June 2018).

I AM, THEREFORE I WEAR
Scepticism and optimism intermingle in our communication and social interactions with each other and the surrounding world. Boundaries between technology and human experience are blurring, and there is no longer a one-size-fits-all approach to understand or predict why and how people act, believe or dress the way they do. Within this complex and transforming world it seems more pertinent than ever that fashion is placed in a context that forces you to question its true value. Therefore, The Fashion Dialogue will challenge, cross, connect and rewrite borders, systems, disciplines, definitions and beliefs in order to reveal a Fashion DNA that is made out of more than threads of fabrics.

The conversation offers the stage to a multi-disciplinary [re]framework and voice for fashion by opening up a dialogue between experts in – among others – Fashion Design & Technology, Cultural Economics, Arts, Religion, Business History, Higher Education and the Fashion Industry. Different visions, different values, different systems, different questions; will they clash or are we [humans] searching for the same solutions and like-minded answers?

REVEALING THE VALUES BEHIND THE CLOTHES [WE WEAR].
Prior to the panel discussion, Prof Maaike de Haardt puts the spotlight on the interaction between religion, culture and gender, addressing to what extent religious or spiritual motives, questions and dimensions can be recognised in human activities and forms of expression (from cooking to fashion). Designer Adam Peacock will elaborate more on his vision behind The Validation Junky, an experimental lens upon the complexities of contemporary digital consumer culture. Presenting research with fashion trend forecasters and academics, developed towards connecting taste or aesthetic sensibility with constantly changing social-political conditions and technological algorithms.
