Doing fashion is a culture and fashion design is a cultural practice. What exactly fashion is or should be is not so easy to answer - and perhaps that is why it is so fascinating. Fashion is a global and social system that constantly produces paradoxes that we cannot always resolve. Fashion confronts people with their own contradictions. Because fashion is involved in all areas that are currently of great concern to us: Identity, future, climate, environment, artificial intelligence, digitality, globality, regionality and, above all, democracy. The course is characterized by a strong focus on the body, its perception, movement and body-based design methods, as well as an emphasis on performance and performativity. We deal with other bodies, other bodies of fashion in the midst of debates that reassess the confrontation between man and machine.
