'York Festival of Ideas 2019: Panel debate Is Fashion Only French?'

'Join us as we examine the birth of the notion of ‘haute couture’ and how it became a central tenet of French culture, comparing it to London as the centre of men’s fashion. We also look at how the historical definition of fashion is changing today with the internationalisation of the fashion industry and the blurring of borders between men and women’s fashion.  Our expert speakers include Farid Chenoune of the Institut Français de la Mode; Caroline Evans of Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London); Oriole Cullen and Jenny Lister,  V&A curators; and Sophie Kurkdjian of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). The session is chaired by Shahidha Bari, a critic, academic and broadcaster working in the fields of literature, philosophy and visual culture.   This event was part of York Festival of Ideas 2019 Focus Day - A Date with History: Fashion, food and feminism http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/2019/focus-days/date-history/.'
