Possible panel strands include, but are not limited to:

- Stardom and celebrity
- Fashion cities and street style
- Screen and performance costuming
- Designers, makers and retailers

- Transformation and lifestyle cultures
- Film, TV, fashion and consumption

Throughout the conference visits are planned to arts and cultural venues in and around Roubaix (including La Piscine – Musée d’Art et d’Industrie André Diligent). There will also be numerous opportunities for networking and special interest group meetings.
Please note : the conference will be held in English and French.
