Information

CIMODE is a platform for research exchange in Fashion and Design, promoting the discussion of ideas between researchers, academics, designers and other professionals in the fields of Fashion and Design. Through an interdisciplinary dialogue and intercultural perspective, CIMODE aims to generate and present new scenarios on the present and future of Fashion and Design.

Being an inter- and trans-disciplinary conference,  CIMODE explores Fashion and Design at the social, cultural, psychological, and communication perspective, seeking to bring together different approaches and perceptions on the practice, education and culture of Design and Fashion.

Theme of CIMODE 2024: "CULTURAL AND PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPES OF FASHION"

Fashion is a value landscape that expresses cultural and productive know-how, and, in contemporary acceptance, it goes beyond identification with clothing, to define scenarios that bear complex visions linked to our civilization.
These landscapes are expressed today at different levels of design and experimentation in line with the indispensable values of environmental and social sustainability, of inclusiveness and of cultural and technological contaminations. A new beauty of doing asserts itself, starting from the consideration of the critical phase of our planet; the nature of fashion, in this phase, is identified with a collective activity, based on shared values: "Fashion-ology dispels the myth according to which the creative designer is a genius. Fashion is not created by a single individual but by all those who they are involved in the production of fashion, and therefore fashion is a collective activity" (Kawamura Y., 2008).

The congress is based on seven major subjects: Fashion; Fashion and Communication; Identities and Cultures; Fashion and Product Design; Marketing and Consumption in Fashion and Design; Teaching and Education, Sustainability of Fashion and Design; Emotional Design and Fashion.

The congress will include plenary sessions and daily sessions of parallel paper presentations, as well as sessions of posters and presentation of scientific initiation work.

The format will be presential, but there is the possibility of having some sessions online.
