“Art Direction and Fashion Communication: Post Truth – Addressing New Form of Authenticity”
The question that always remains the same is “What is the key to success in business of fashion?”. Fashion is inevitable – it’s everywhere and has a part in everything around us. But what are we able to see in the bigger picture and in the end: what do we want to see? We have ideas, creativity, knowledge of craftsmanship and even knowledge of branding.

But as to truly understand the unseen depth of this phenomena we have to look through way wider spectrum” – says Marija and invites to experience a new way of understanding fashion.
Marco Bartolucci: fashion trend forecaster, lecturer in POLIMODA international fashion institute. Marcos unique approach to fashion was noticed in the early stage of his studies. He got not only noticed but eventually earned respect of the colleagues that brought him straight to the position in academic field as a lecturer in the prestigious institute – POLIMODA. “I have always been a person viscerally impassioned by every form of human expression. I believe that the film rouge that has traveled through my life, and continues to do so, has been the extreme interest and curiosity of understanding how man can shape, concretize, materialize and translate his own interiority – that is through the art, music, fashion, literature. I work and research with a phenomenological approach combined to a deep psycho-sociological research structure in the field of cross-cultural and countercultural fashion and human manifestation. Working with the intersections among every human visual expression and representation (fashion, art, photography, cinema….) therefore among all the topics related to the research field the deepest focus is about the formation of the subjectivity and the role of the body, the post-human interactions within the real/unreal dichotomy, psychoanalysis and fashion, construction and de-construction of human expressions, contemporary ritualism and liminal events.” With this description Marco Bartolucci creates a unique intrigue about the upcoming lecture and leaves open space for creative thinking and interpretation.
