The BMBF-funded InnoTexGes project presents the first conference in the international DRESSED series about the multifaceted relationship between clothing and society. Twenty-three researchers and scientists from different research fields covering four continents will represent the wide range and variety of perspectives, sources and methods on the complex topic of clothing. The conference will be held via zoom from the 22nd to the 24th of June 2022 (Wednesday to Friday). Clothing has been central to human existence for many millennia. However, its multifaceted relationship to the various areas of society is still vastly underestimated. The DRESSED conference intends to open new ways to think about and investigate this complex phenomenon that has been central to us for thousands of years and will be central to us in the future. The three tracks will provide different perspectives on the topic and interlink textile and design research and practice with data science: Track 1 — Perspectives on Dress History: Understanding the past and finding the big picture Track 2 — Pattern Recognition: Structuring data methodically Track 3 — Creating the Future: Responding to Society Conference Tickets To join the conference, please write to mail@dressconference.org, and we will send you a link. The online tickets are free to also integrate young researchers and students into the new research approaches, methods and discussions.
