LIM College will host Fashion: Now & Then: Meaning, Media, and Mode, a conference in which participants will discuss the past, present, and future uses of global fashion information, Thursday, October 3 through Saturday, October 5, 2013 at LIM College (12 East 53rd Street).
This year’s edition of the annual international fashion information conference will feature the exclusive preview of Europeana Fashion, the online European fashion archive connected to Europeana, the European Digital Library.
Alessandra Arezzi Boza, Communications Director of the Europeana Fashion Project, will hold her speech on Friday, October 4 from 10:15-11:00 a.m.
The presentation talks about Europeana Fashion as a best practice network composed of 22 partners from 12 European countries, which represent the leading European institutions and collections in the fashion domain. It focuses on the first year basis results achieved in all Project related activities, with a huge quote of its successful communication strategy. In this occasion a preview of the website and a presentation of its functionalities and features will be showed for the first time.
“Europeana Fashion offers a variety of specialized services and features including a specialized data model known as EDM-fp, a fashion thesaurus available in 10 languages, and the IPR Best Practice Guidelines Manual, which was created in collaboration with the V&A to assist Europeana Fashion partners in clearing intellectual property rights for images. In addition to delivering content through its portal, Europeana Fashion will develop an interactive component — with a Tumblr blog dedicated to virtual fashion exhibitions curated by partners and guest curators, an events section, and an active presence on leading social media platforms. Europeana Fashion aims to become a true forum of fashion, where all of its users and communities—including the general public, creative and research professionals, and fashion institutions– exchange information on fashion topics, contribute fashion content and provide feedback.
Lisa Ryan, LIM College Reference & Instruction Librarian and organizer of the Fashion: Now & Then conference said, “We are very pleased the Europeana Fashion consortium has chosen to announce their worldwide preview at our conference. Until Fashion Now & Then began in 2011, there had not been an international forum for discussion among fashion information professionals. Unfortunately, a significant portion of historical fashion and fashion-related information and materials have been lost or not collected and preserved, and information about their existence and availability has not been well-disseminated. LIM College is very proud to be the venue of choice for the introduction to the world of what will be the premier source of European digital fashion information.”
