THE DEATH OF TASTE: THE FUTURE OF FASHION
Credit: Graham Dolphin (detail)

Organised by Alison Clarke (University of Applied Arts Vienna), Joanne Entwistle (London College of Fashion) and Alistair O’Neill (Central St Martins London) as a London/Vienna debate The Death of Taste brings together, (in expert panel discussion) fashion industry experts, academics and designers at the cutting edge of fashion.
Speakers include Marios Schwab (New Designer of the Year 2006, UK), Penny Martin (editor in Chief of SHOWstudio.com), Christopher Breward (fashion historian and author), Elfie Semotan (fashion photographer), Klaus Mühlbauer (hat designer), Florian Ladstätter (contemporary jeweller), Gerda Buxbaum (fashion expert and author), Petar Petrov (fashion designer), Susie Coulthard (British fashion stylist), Thomas Ballhausen (Austria Film Archiv), Nick Ryan (sound designer/Hussein Chayalan shows), Myung Il Song (owner avant-garde fashion store), Nilgin Yusuf (fashion editor), Helga Schania (Wendy & Jim), Simone Springer (rosa mosa) etc.

MAK Auditorium
FAST FASHION: SLOW FASHION Contemporary designers, art directors and fashion theorists including Klaus Mühlbauer, Anais Horn, WENDY& Jim, Wessie Ling and Joanne Entwistle discuss the temporalities of global and local fashion from luxury hand-made goods to high street fast-fashion.

16.00-17.00
MAK Auditorium

Reception
Saturday 23 June 2007
12:00-13.30
MAK Auditorium
FASHION CITIES in an era of global spectacle, fashion has become an important means by which cities assert themselves as having a unique, stylized identity. Exploring how place and style intersect, the session includes British and Austrian fashion historians, Christopher Breward and Gerda Buxbaum, jewellery designer Florian Ladstätter, fashion photographer Elfie Semotan and fashion theorist Alistair O’Neill discussing the politics and myths of fashion cities.
14:00-15:30
MAK Auditorium
DEMOCRACY OF FASHION With celebrities such as Kate Moss ‘designing’ high street fashion collections for mass consumption and the internet providing minute by minute style analysis, this session asks if fashion has become truly democratic. Is fashion now driven by consumption rather than production? Is there still space for the ‘avant-garde’ in fashion? The discussion includes leading fashion editor Penny Martin, conceptual fashion retailer Myung ILSong, fashion journalist Nilgin Yusuf, designer Simone
Springer and design theorist/anthropologist Alison Clarke.
15.30-17:00
MAK Auditorium
STYLING VERSUS CONTENT Designers were once considered the innovative force of fashion, but increasingly the figure of the ‘stylist’ has assumed this role. In a discussion with leading London and Vienna based stylists, Susie Coulthard and Sammy Zayed, fashion designer Petar Petrov and magazine editor Kira Stachowitsch, fashion theorist Joanne Entwistle and Alistair O’Neill explore the impact of the styling and the future of fashion.
17.00-18:00
