On Saturday 9th of November our dear board member & fashion expert Patrick Scallon will come to Oslo and International Library of Fashion Research for his Guest Salon titled «Conversing Off the Cuff». The talk will take base in Scallon’s wide experience within fashion media and cultural fields, in roles as communications director for both Maison Martin Margiela and Dries Van Noten. Free and open for all. Welcome!
Is creativity democratic? Does fashion's visibility match its cultural relevance? Has the role of 'designer fashion' shifted and should it shift now? There is always your way and not just the way. Saying no is harder than yes.
