Contemporary Fashion Archive - CFA





The contemporary fashion archive is an essential tool for scholars, students or fashion-theory aficionados researching the fashion field. Supported by institutions like Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, this international project offers several sources on an array of subjects, from fashion design to magazines and exhibitions. Looking for an exhibition on the Antwerp school held four years ago or for the name of an obscure magazine seen the last time you were in Berlin? CFA is there for you. Since nothing is perfect, CFA interrupted its activities 2 years ago. Anyhow, consider this comprehensive website as a 5 years capsule of our fashion culture. The now closed temporality and the end of the relentless evolution of what used to be CFA should not be considered as unconstructive realities. 5 years of fashion are now sealed and made freely available. A representation of fashion is now disconnected from its flux and ready for dissection, analysis and dissertation.
