Printing Fashion 2020

On Friday 6th and Saturday 7th March 2020, the MA in Fashion Studies at The New School Parsons Paris organizes the second edition of the Festival ‘Printing Fashion’ in collaboration with the MAD Paris. ‘Printing Fashion’ creates in Paris an independent space for discussion for practitioners, critics, academics to explore the contemporary role and value of fashion media via the specific lens of printed publications. This second edition hosts different round-tables and master-classes exploring the theme of time. The discussions will investigate issues of production, distribution, recycling and discharge of fashion publications; the ephemeral nature of editorial projects; the times and spaces of fashion criticism and shows’ reports; the role of magazines in archives and museums and finally the magazine as a platform for thought. On the occasion of the Festival, the exhibition Printed Dialogues (6 – 16 March 2020) will be opened at Bibliothèque MAD Paris.
