The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education wants to create connections and actions within and across different fashion learning cultures and contexts. It was founded in 2019 as a participatory and outcome-oriented space and a series of conferences focused on the learning and teaching of fashion. It aims to explore and illustrate the diversity and complexity of the field and the practices of fashion education, and to foster a greater understanding of its pasts, presents and futures – methods, values and didactic, pedagogic and epistemological questions – creating a global exchange to inspire mutual learning, collaborative research and shared action.
The Multilogues are organized by Franziska Schreiber (UdK) & Dr. Renate Stauss (AUP), who are brought together and driven by their love for making and wearing fashion, for learning and thinking through fashion, and their belief in its connective, educational and transformative potential.
Please save the date for the next two-part edition of The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education 2025/2026. We are thrilled to announce the new theme: “Learning to Walk, Walking to Learn”.
We look forward to treading new paths with you.
The Multilogue 2021 on Fashion Education – A Conference on Learning and Teaching Fashion in Theory and Practice is a participatory and outcome-oriented space focused on the learning and teaching of fashion at tertiary level. It aims to explore and illustrate the diversity and complexity of the field and the practices of fashion education. It aims to foster a greater understanding of its pasts, presents and futures – methods, values and didactic, pedagogic and epistemological questions. This conference thus seeks to inspire mutual learning, collaborative research and shared action – fashion educations for NOW. 1–2 October 2021, online, organized by Professor Renate Stauss & Franziska Schreiber.
The The Digital Multilogue 2020 on Fashion Education organized by Renate Stauss & Franziska Schreiber brought 300 fashion educators from 40 countries and 5 continents together – not just to listen but to meet and start multiple international dialogues. It offered a series of short provocations, a conversation and at the heart of it 18 small-scale workshops – all generously facilitated by some of the most inspiring voices in fashion education and on the edge of it. The rich Proceedings of the Multilogue 2020 have just been published – enjoy the read!
