Fashion’s flirtation with supernatural style

This summer, the School of Creative and Cultural Business at RGU hosted the first of its kind Supernatural in Contemporary Society conference. This event brought together researchers from across a range of disciplines and universities who shared their research.

Subject Lead and Fashion Management course leader Karen Cross designed three spooky fashion posters for the event…

These posters showcase findings from Karen’s research into comfort in clothing where she discovered a number of supernatural themes and ideas…

 

 

 

A project-based approach to teaching

We had a great time at last week’s ABS50 Research Conference where we heard some interesting presentations and keynotes. Our Fashion Place contribution was two posters showcasing examples of a project-based approach to teaching. This year’s Magazine Project and Fashion Exhibition celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Aberdeen Business School so it seemed very fitting that these should be included in the conference! Well done to all the students who made these projects a success!

My fashion place

Summer has arrived and we hope you’re enjoying the wonderful weather! We’d love to hear about your summer adventures so please tag us in your Twitter and Instagram pictures, using the hashtag myfashionplace. Here are some posts from students and staff from their summer “offices”. Madeleine’s been carrying out interviews with North East fashion bloggers in various Starbucks and is now analysing the data in her garden (making the most of the Aberdeen sunshine!)

Karen’s also been doing some work from home. Can you spot the fashion dog?

And one our students, Courtney, is in Paris where she’s been working at the Capsule Show!

Looking forward to seeing more of your fashion places…
