FASHION COLLOQUIA SÃO PAULO

Fashion Colloquia São Paulo | Dates: April 11 – 15, 2016

The Fashion Colloquia was established by 4 institutions, connected by their residence and involvement in the four big 'Fashion weeks' across the globe. These Institutions were the London College of Fashion - University of the Arts, London, Domus Academy - Milan, Institute Français de la Mode - Paris and Parsons the New School for Design, School of Fashion, New York. The first series of colloquia took place from 2011-2013.

The objective of the colloquia was and still is to attract a rich variety of contributions from a broad selection of people - from academia, media and practice - and utilize contributions for uploading to a newly established international repository for fashion to be housed at the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London.

In April 2016, the colloquia will be held in São Paulo, Brazil. It will be hosted by the University of São Paulo with the duration of 5 days.
