PANEL DISCUSSION: Thursday 19 March 18.30–20.00
Central Saint Martins, LVMH Theatre, E002
This panel discussion will look at the fashion moving image from the vantage point of independent fashion design labels as well as multi-national brands. Reviewing the past 15 years, but with a special focus on today, we will explore the different ways in which designers and brands have engaged with – and understood – the moving image. The starting point for the discussion are the following questions: Why are today’s designers and brands so keen to integrate moving imagery into their practice? What new dimensions has it opened to them in artistic and communication terms? How are the industry’s new marketing and promotional strategies transforming fashion communication?
