Talks | In Conversation: Hazel Clark and Li Edelkoort

In 2015, fashion trend forecaster and authority Li Edelkoort declared “the end of Fashion as we know it,” and in her “manifesto for the next decade” provided “ten reasons why the fashion system is obsolete.” In doing so, Edelkoort echoed a sentiment shared by fashion industry insiders, journalists, pundits, and scholars alike. Organized in conjunction with MAD’s exhibition fashion after Fashion, this program features a conversation about the contemporary state of fashion between Edelkoort and exhibition curator Hazel Clark.

This event takes place as part of NYCxDESIGN, New York City’s official citywide celebration of design. #NYCxDESIGN
