Event: Inter Disciplinary.net 4th Global Conference on Fashion: Exploring Critical Issues
![]() |
Our presentation and sessions panel |
It was a great experience to be surrounded by those with a keen interest in fashion theory and to be a part of the very vast ranging discussions on fashion. Some of the highlights from the sessions discussed the theory of deconstructive fashion, the historical narratives of Indian fashion garments, the evolution of South Africa’s fashion identity and the emerging 'homeless chic' fashion trend.

The conference dinner & mingle |
Our presentation created a lot of buzz and excitingly opened up for a great debate which continued way beyond the day’s session.
Overall we would deem the conference a success as it was great to share our ideas and critiques with those keen to engage in intellectual debates but also to explore the theoretics of fashion from the different perspectives and disciplines held by those in attendance.

Hi! I would like to get your opinion about joining Interdisciplinary.Net's conferences. Isn't the cost to attend one a bit expensive? Do you think it's worth it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes I would agree that the attendance fee for the conference is very expensive (in comparison to other conferences I've attended). However, I think that much of the cost is spent on the location, venue, and the meals/snacks provided.
DeleteThe conference pulls in an international crowd, and gives you enough time to network and make acquaintances, so can be very useful for your study/research/work.
I made a few connects at this particular conference, whom I've kept in touch with. It also exposed to some really good research theories which have expanded my work.
The decision is ultimately yours to make, though if it helps, its not a conference I'd attend every year (as my research is self funded)!
