About this Event
The Annual Printing Fashion Festival takes place on April 25 and 26 at the Union Jeunesse Internationale in Paris.
The Festival features a publishing fair where independent fashion magazines, resellers, and collectors will showcase and sell their publications. The fair provides a unique opportunity to meet and acquire a handpicked selection of fashion printed matter, and to connect with international publishers and magazines both inside and outside fashion-specific printed media. Alongside the fair, Printing Fashion will also host a series of public talks with publishers, journalists, editors, curators, and academics exploring the theme of “influence” in the print industry. The talks will present different ways in which influence can be understood and enacted: as participation and community-building, as aesthetic power, as a source of inspiration, and as a set of historical references and genealogies that shape contemporary publishing practices.

Printing Fashion is an annual festival, created in Paris, as an independent space for discussion for practitioners, critics, academics to explore the contemporary role and value of fashion media via the specific lens of printed and digital publications. Founded in 2019 by Justin Morin and Marco Pecorari, the Festival focuses on the landscape of fashion publications and fashion printed cultures while exploring the fashion of printed matter in the digital era. Each year the Festival focuses on a theme and explores a topic via roundtables, lectures and an exhibition where experts are invited to share their experiences, their practices and, most importantly, their multiple approaches to what a fashion magazine represents for them. While unveiling its imaginaries, the stereotypes, Printing Fashion discloses the transactions, the conventions, the labour, the value exchanges, its objecthood, the hidden practices and figures that surround the making of a magazine.
Printing Fashion is also an annual magazine that recollects all the discussions, encounters and experiences shared during the Festival. Created in collaboration with graphic designer Monica Fraile Morisson, the magazine is published and produced by the MA in Fashion Studies at The New School Parsons Paris and it represents an occasion for the students of the program to meet and work with professionals in the printed and digital media sphere.
