Call for Papers - Costume Colloquium III: Past Dress – Future Fashion
The Costume Colloquium III will take place in Florence, November 8-11, 2012.
Topics of Interest:
I. The remaking or recreating dress from the past: yesterday and today
II. Patterns from the past and the fashions of today: which aspects of a certain historic past?
III. The past relived through dress:
- in institutional collections (public and private)
- in a social context (pageantry, parades and historical
reenactment)
- in didactic experiences (fashion and design course and schools)
IV. The vintage phenomenon and recycling of styles
V. Conservation, restoration and the presentation of collections: new tendencies and innovative methods
VI. Fashion documents and archives
VII. Dress collecting: goals and accessibility
VIII. Information regarding costumes and dress accessories
It does sound like an interesting conference - and I'm definitely thinking about sending in a paper proposal. If you are interested as well, you can find more information about the conference (including the rest of the CfP and submission guidelines) on the conference webpage.
