The Body: Connections with Fashion, the 10th Annual Conference for the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI), is hosted by RMIT University: School of Architecture & Design and School of Fashion & Textiles.

The two day conference, 8 - 9 March 2008, will capture research in various disciplines of fashion and related practices that explore notions of the body in fashion. The theme enables a diversity of research foci related to the body and its connection to fashion; from the utilitarian function of clothing to the discipline of semiotics; from the business of fashion to manufacturing, materials technology, design innovation, history and education.

The Conference will be structured as a platform for a series of diverse but related themes that reflect current research directions and strengths of IFFTI members and the broader research community within the context of the Conference themes.
