Dissertation in the field of design: MA Fahrettin Ersin Alaca
30.11.2017 / 12:00 - 14:00 Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, lecture hall 822, Hämeentie 135 C, 00560, Helsinki, FI
This dissertation argues that the historical assets of design, engraved in living forms of collective memory, can be effectively engaged in the service of the appropriation and promotion of slower modes of consumption as opposed to the dominant and systematic novelty mechanism of fast fashion. It proposes a heritage management strategy that emphasises feasibility and taps into existing socio- and politico-economic networks while suggesting positive changes in consumer behaviour.
