| 10620627 | Social Theory of Fashion [SPS/08] [ENG] | 1st | 2nd | 6 |
Educational objectives This course introduces and examines social, sociological, and cultural theories and concepts central
to the study of fashion. Various theoretical paradigms, schools of thought, and influential thinkers
are considered, and these theories’ applicability to fashion phenomena are evaluated. Through
concrete examples, the student learns to critically reflect upon both fashion scholarship and fashion
itself.
After the course, the student will be able to recognise different conceptual and theoretical ways of
thinking; apply these ideas to multiple kinds of fashion phenomena; and evaluate their usefulness
for different areas of real-life dress and fashion phenomena.
The course gives the student tools to critically reflect upon fashion, to analyse dress and fashion
phenomena, as well as to understand fashion scholarship in its wider context.

| 10621312 | DIGITAL CLOTHING AND FASHION DIGITALIZATION [SPS/08] [ENG] | 1st | 2nd | 6 |
Educational objectives Il corso si propone di introdurre gli studenti al campo della moda digitale e alla digitalizzazione della moda.
Gli studenti esploreranno come i capi possano esistere e funzionare in ambienti completamente digitali, dai
virtual try-on e la realtà aumentata, fino alla moda nel metaverso e agli NFT indossabili. Verrà inoltre
analizzato l’impatto della digitalizzazione sulla catena del valore della moda.
Attraverso l’analisi critica e la pratica, gli studenti indagheranno come l’abbigliamento digitale metta in
discussione i paradigmi tradizionali della moda, affronti la questione della sostenibilità e trasformi l’identità
e l’espressione di sé negli spazi virtuali. Il corso incoraggia inoltre una riflessione sulle dimensioni creative,
tecniche ed etiche della digitalizzazione della moda, sia nell’industria sia in ambito accademico.
Verranno infine introdotte le basi del design 3D e proposte le prime sperimentazioni pratiche, con la
progettazione di capi digitali tridimensionali.
