🎙️ Podcast UCLan Cyprus – Creative Talk  “Η Εξέλιξη της Μόδας & του Στυλ Μέσα από τον Χρόνο”

Στο νέο επεισόδιο της σειράς Creative Talk, μπαίνουμε στον σύγχρονο διεθνή κόσμο της μόδας και της κουλτούρας. Ανακαλύπτουμε πώς η βιωσιμότητα δίνει νέα πνοή στις παραδοσιακές πρακτικές και πώς οι χειροποίητες τεχνικές – όπως η δαντέλα – μεταμορφώνονται από δεξιοτέχνες και νέους δημιουργούς σε καινοτόμες προσεγγίσεις, προσφέροντας γνώση και έμπνευση στις επόμενες γενιές επαγγελματιών.

👉 Πώς η Γαλλία εξακολουθεί να θέτει τα πρότυπα υψηλής αισθητικής σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο;
 👉 Με ποιους τρόπους οι νέοι σχεδιαστές ανανεώνουν και εξελίσσουν τις παραδοσιακές τεχνικές;
 👉 Τι σημαίνει «κουλτούρα μόδας» σήμερα και πώς διαμορφώνει την κοινωνία;

Ένα επεισόδιο που συνδέει ιστορία, τέχνη και ταυτότητα της μόδας, δίνοντας τροφή για σκέψη σε όσους σπουδάζουν, εργάζονται ή αγαπούν τη δημιουργία.
