Call for Papers | Prosperity Fashion Conference - deadline 15th June 2026
Hosted by University of Florence: https://riviste.fupress.net/index.php/fh/prosperity-fashion-2027
FROM DOUBTING TO PROMISING
The reflections on prosperity and fashion that were initiated by the first edition of the international conference Prosperity Fashion (13–14 February 2025) does not end with a specific moment in time, nor can it be considered a seasonal topic or a theoretical trend. Prosperity is not a buzzword: it is a structural, long-term perspective through which to rethink the fashion system in its economic, political, social, environmental, cultural, and technological dimensions.
Within the framework of Prosperity Fashion, the term prosperity does not coincide with economic growth or the accumulation of financial value. Rather, it emerges from a critical reassessment of the paradigm of unlimited growth whose environmental, social, and political limits have become increasingly evident. Prosperity is understood as a relational and systemic condition, concerning the quality of interdependencies among actors, territories, communities, ecosystems, and technologies.
The first edition questioned the concept of prosperity by moving beyond its exclusively economic meaning and opening it up to relational, ecological, and post-growth models. The 2027 edition, titled From Doubting to Promising, aims to expand, test, and deepen this perspective, shifting the focus from a theoretical redefinition of the concept toward examining its practical and anticipated implications.
