Design and fashion historian Emmanuelle Dirix looks at fashion's relationship with the future.
Design and fashion historian Emmanuelle Dirix looks at fashion's relationship with the future, the two are intrinsically bound up: fashion shapes the future and yet never exists in the present… trend predictions, next season's looks, shapes and colours - once on the shop floor, they are already surpassed by what comes next. Since the 19th century designers, social commentators and writers have been concerned with what people will be wearing next season and also in decades to come. Fashion’s tangible nature makes it an ideal vehicle on which we can transpose our hopes and fears for the future, and yet we can never quite get away from the present. This illustrated talk will use film and newsreel to examine various styles and issues concerned with the way we fashion the future.
