Inter/Sections – creating and investigating sartorial culture

As designers, can we benefit from dress historical observations? As historians of material culture and fashion theorists, can we benefit from design- and craftsmanship expertise? This talk aims to introduce the fruitful multidisciplinary approach of looking scientifically at aspects of sartorial culture and, simultaneously, being a creator of its objects. Understanding the human body, mastering textile materiality, and extending ideas through garments leads us to the core of cultural progression – then and now.

Julia Catrin Eberhardt is a fashion designer trained at HfK Bremen and a dress- and art historian based in London and Jena.

She is currently working on her PhD at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, investigating the material and visual culture of the 16th and 17th century in Thuringia
