Fashion weaving links

Fashion is a collective work. It creates and feeds on the most diverse links between professions, skills, expertise and knowledge of all kinds. These universes unite and work together to create something that is constantly renewed. So, a fashion collection, and the way it is staged, federates talents and communities.

 

First Round Table: Creative communities / 10:30-12:00 am

Fashion unifies the cultural and creative industries through the wide range of talents it brings together: design, arts and crafts, music, visual arts, set design, dance, film, etc. It brings together a wide range of talents, all of which contribute to a unique identity that can be seen worldwide. What are the driving forces behind these ecosystems?

Third Round Table: International communities / 03:30-04:45 pm 

Inherently, fashion is international, but it also draws on local characteristics. The result is an architecture of communities and links on the scale of cities and territories, of the world and cultures that constitute a permanent breeding ground for creativity, exchange and diversity. How does the creative vitality of the ecosystems and players that make them up emerge and structure themselves?
