Discussion invites us to look into the challenges of the fashion research and dissemination which lies beyond the fashion magazines, museum collections and historical fashion archives. Marcin Rozyc will showcase the examples of how fashion responds to and shapes political and social movements in Poland through countercultural, anti-nationalist rebellions, or identity politics. Together with Jeppe Ugelvig we will discuss how to maintain those histories and reveal the underlying social and political narratives and messages embedded within garments through fashion research methodologies.
