Critical Fashion Thinking with Julia Kovadloff

€40.00

Tools for a More Critical Fashion Practice

Fashion is more than just an industry, it is a cultural system shaped by images, narratives, power structures and the everyday choices we make as creators and consumers. This workshop invites you to slow down from the digital overload, observe, and question the aesthetic, social and material forces that define what fashion is and what it could be, and the relationship we have with clothes.

The Details

The workshop is aimed at designers, creatives, and anyone interested in fashion as a cultural language. Together, we will use key frameworks from fashion studies, sociology of design and contemporary critical thought to examine how beauty ideals are constructed, how consumption patterns take shape and how design and creative decisions can reinforce or resist dominant narratives.

Through accessible examples, short exercises and guided reflection, you will learn practical tools to develop a more intentional and critical fashion practice, whether you are designing garments, producing images, writing about fashion or simply engaging with fashion as a consumer. We will look at fashion as a socially situated practice, exploring its symbolic power, its capacity for storytelling and its role in shaping ideas and identities.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with a refreshed perspective on the fashion problematics and amazing creative references to explore. This is not a lecture about what is “right” or “wrong” in fashion. It is an opportunity to expand your curiosity, sharpen your critical gaze, and imagine together new possibilities for making and engaging with fashion today.

Dates:
Session One: 13th January 2026. 6PM. CET. Online. (1.5hrs)
