Join us for a talk on unconventional careers in fashion

Join artists and designers in an open and inclusive conversation exploring and unpacking the body in the context of fashion, questioning traditional viewpoints and opening up new ways of thinking about how fashion can be navigated and creatively explored.

In addition to this roundtable you are invited to share and test your ideas during a Speakers Corner. So if you have concepts, questions and ideas you'd like to present bring them along. No presentations or intense prep required!

Panel
