LECTURER: Marco Meloni, Instructional coordinator and Lecturer in Sociology of Cultural Processes of Accademia Costume & Moda.
The Workshop by Marco Meloni, Teaching Coordinator and Lecturer in Sociology of Cultural Processes of Accademia Costume & Moda, starting from Simmel and the sociological definition of fashion, will try to show how the past is closely connected to the present, to the fashions and mythologies of modernity. Brands, accessories, relevant figures in the fashion industry: there can be no serious reflection on the future without an awareness of what has already been and happened before. Students will be encouraged to interact and will have the opportunity to challenge themselves, working on the current media system in search of interesting cultural themes and objects to analyze. They will thus find the right connections leading from the birth of the metropolis to the success of the Birkin, not forgetting the collective imagination of movies, TV series and social narratives.
