Siamo lieti di condividere l’attività di terza missione svolta da Filippo Maria Disperati nell’ambito della masterclass dedicata al rapporto tra arte e moda negli anni Novanta all’interno della ‘Centro Pecci School’, organizzata dal Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci di Prato.
In dialogo con la mostra “Vivono. Arte e affetti, HIV-AIDS in Italia. 1982-1996”, la lezione ha esplorato gli anni ’90 come un periodo di intensa contaminazione tra arte e moda, segnato da trasformazioni sociali e nuove rappresentazioni del corpo. Attraverso figure centrali come Martin Margiela e Franco Moschino, la masterclass ha evidenziato il ruolo della moda come linguaggio simbolico, politico e culturale.
L’incontro ha rappresentato un’importante occasione di dialogo tra ricerca accademica, istituzioni culturali e pubblico, confermando il valore della terza missione come pratica di condivisione e disseminazione del sapere oltre il contesto universitario.

We are pleased to share the third mission activity carried out by Filippo Maria Disperati as part of the masterclass dedicated to the relationship between art and fashion in the 1990s, held within the ‘Centro Pecci School’ programme organised by the Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci. In dialogue with the exhibition ‘Vivono. Arte e affetti, HIV-AIDS in Italia. 1982-1996’, the lecture explored the 1990s as a period of intense cross-contamination between art and fashion, shaped by social transformations and new representations of the body. Through key figures such as Martin Margiela and Franco Moschino, the masterclass highlighted the role of fashion as a symbolic, political, and cultural language.
The event represented an important opportunity for dialogue between academic research, cultural institutions, and the public, reaffirming the value of the third mission as a practice of sharing and disseminating knowledge beyond the university context.

PROSPERITY FASHION 2027
International Conference
FROM DOUBTING TO PROMISING

Università degli Studi di Firenze
9–12 February 2027

OPEN CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Abstract submission deadline: 31 May 2026

The reflection on prosperity and fashion initiated with the first edition of the international conference Prosperity Fashion (February 2025), organized by the University of Florence and the academic journal Fashion Highlight, continues as an open and evolving research trajectory with the 2027 edition, entitled From Doubting to Promising. This edition aims to further develop and test this perspective by shifting the focus from a theoretical redefinition of the concept toward its operational implications. Within this framework, the conference positions itself as a space for discussion on the possibilities of applying prosperity as both a theoretical and practical framework for fashion research and systems, addressing the tensions between market logics and post-growth models, forms of collective responsibility, and the contribution of nonhuman and posthuman perspectives.
The structure of the conference is articulated into five interconnected sections. Doubting is dedicated to ongoing research and provides a space for discussing open questions and methodological challenges. Sharing brings together contributions based on completed or advanced-stage research. Building proposes workshops oriented toward experimentation and the collective construction of knowledge. Showing is dedicated to the presentation of visual, material, and installation-based projects. The conference concludes with Promising, a collective session aimed at identifying research priorities and shared commitments for the future.
Rather than responding to a purely organizational need, this structure reflects a precise orientation: the conference is conceived as a research dispositif, in which knowledge is questioned, transformed, and oriented toward shared responsibilities.

Dal 9 al 13 febbraio si è tenuto il workshop “ZERO waste: progettare moda senza scarti” con Lukas Krob, giovane designer emergente nel panorama internazionale, noto per le sue costruzioni scultoree e sperimentali.
Gli studenti dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze in collaborazione con ITS MITA Academy, hanno lavorato a stretto contatto con il designer, approfondendo il suo approccio progettuale e la sua ricerca formale. Il workshop si è concentrato sul suo metodo di costruzione del capo, caratterizzato da una forte dimensione sperimentale e da un uso innovativo di volumi, tagli e sovrapposizioni. Attraverso un percorso intensivo, gli studenti hanno potuto confrontarsi direttamente con il processo creativo del designer, acquisendo competenze tecniche e una maggiore consapevolezza della relazione tra progettazione, materia e forma. Un’esperienza che ha rappresentato un’importante occasione di dialogo tra formazione accademica e pratica contemporanea del design.

Nell’ambito del modulo Fashion Design II, condotto da Paolo Franzo, Elisabetta Cianfanelli e
Andrea Quartu, studentesse e studenti del corso di laurea magistrale in Design Sistema
Moda hanno sviluppato un percorso di ricerca a partire dall’osservazione multisensoriale di
una serie di capi provenienti dai propri archivi personali. Attraverso un processo di analisi e
decostruzione, sono stati isolati gli elementi formali e costruttivi distintivi di ciascun artefatto,
tradotti successivamente nel concept di una capsule collection. L’iter progettuale si è fondato
sulla sinergia tra strumenti di prototipazione digitale e AI generativa, impiegata come
dispositivo integrato nelle fasi di ideazione, sviluppo e visualizzazione. Le collezioni hanno
infine preso vita all’interno di ambienti digitali, materializzandosi in animazioni che ne
restituiscono la dimensione narrativa e immersiva.

Within the Fashion Design II module, led by Paolo Franzo, Elisabetta Cianfanelli and Andrea
Quartu, students enrolled in the Master’s degree programme in Fashion System Design
developed a research pathway grounded in the multisensory observation of a selection of
garments drawn from their personal archives. Through a process of analysis and deconstruction, the distinctive formal and constructional elements of each artefact were isolated and subsequently translated into the concept for a capsule collection. The design
process was based on a synergy between digital prototyping tools and generative AI, employed as an integrated device across the phases of ideation, development and visualisation. The collections ultimately came to life within digital environments, materialising as animations that convey their narrative and immersive dimension.

‘Weaving Nature: The Flow of Ainu Elm Bark Fibres through Hokkaido’s Ecosystems’

FASHION HIGHLIGHT
Issue 4 (2024)

Japan’s Indigenous Peoples, the Ainu, inhabitants of Hokkaidō island, are renowned for their robes made from ‘exchanges’ with botanical species, such as elm bark fibres. Their God-spirits (kamui) manifesting in flora, fauna, and natural forces, guided their respectful use of materials, ensuring that nothing was wasted. Their spiritual practices, in reverence for nature, contrast with today’s destructive driven fashions. Textiles are often overlooked in the ecological humanities. This paper, through a framework rooted in decolonial and Indigenous studies, environmental history, cultural anthropology and regenerative design, explores the ecological entanglements of human-nature coexistence, materiality and agency of elm bark fibre garments, weaving together their narratives, practices and environments. The study highlights the ingenuity and sophisticated technologies that allow the transformation of plant fibres into durable garments essential in northern climates. It explores the Indigenous perceptions of nature and resource extraction, particularly during the pre-colonial and early colonial periods in Hokkaidō. By exploring Ainu textile traditions, this paper highlights the potential of Indigenous knowledge to inform sustainable fashion practices. However, applying this learning must avoid perpetuating the colonial legacy of exploitation. Instead, efforts should prioritise equitable partnerships that respect and protect Indigenous contributions, while guiding a move away from petroleum-based systems.
