Probably I'm posting this too late -- but just for the case that tFS members from south Germany are reading this today:
I've invited fashion theorist and costume historian Ingrid Loschek to my "fashion semiotics" course at the University of Augsburg to hold a lecture on "the imagery of fashion" today. She'll speak about what communicative mediation clothes need to become fashion (catwalk, photography, stars, displays, and so on).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got a call from Prof. Loschek -- the lecture is cancelled due to illness.
I'll post the new date asap!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
