The fashion rhizome: an alternate view of fashion history and education

Abstract

Our idea for the Fashion Colloquia Milano is to present the concept of ‘the fashion rhizome’. We want to open up a discussion about design education and fashion history by exploring a theory that encourages creative, lateral and fluid thinking. Our proposal builds on our previous experiences when engaging with presenting fashion histories. We will also be referring to the development and feedback from the Fetish Moment Performance presented by Nottingham Trent University at the IFFTI/Polimoda Conference in May 2015
