On Saturday May 8, Danielle Bruggeman will participate in an online round table discussion on 'sensory fashion', as part of the Uncommon Senses III conference.
Sara Chong Kwan (Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies, LCF) will be in conversation with Danielle Bruggeman (Professor of Fashionat ArtEZ University of theArts, NL), Otto von Busch (Associate Professor of Integrated Design, Parsons, NYC), Mila Burcikova (Research Fellow, LCF Centre for SustainableFashion) and Vidmina Stasiulyte (The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Boras) discussing emerging research that prioritises sensory and emotional engagement with clothing. The discussion poses a challenge to the visual nature of fashion and its representations, exploring sensorial approaches to researching design, production and consumption of fashion; and the embodied, social, cultural and political implications of this.
