/ WHO WE ARE

We are a French network of researchers who analyze fashion, dissect it, decipher it, explore it, create it, exhibit it, preserve it, and restore it…

We are anthropologists, archivists, researchers, museum curators, designers, writers, entrepreneurs, students, historians, engineers, journalists, philosophers, artists, professors, sociologists and theoreticians…

United together, within Culture(s) de Mode, we aim to promote the richness of French archives and the deep knowledge on fashion in France.

Culture(s) de Mode brings together people from a wide variety of disciplinary attachements who work within fashion research. The network organizes workshops and provide support for people and innovative projects.

The Culture(s) de Mode website keeps the public informed about French research initiatives and events and hosts digital research projects.
