Research Topic: Clothing Heritage and Digital Fashion

Details: https://das.cultechpub.com/das/Research/Topic2


Amid global cultural reconstruction, the resurgence of local identities, and the evolving landscape of design studies, clothing has become a vital medium for expressing cultural meaning, shaping identity, and integrating emerging technologies. This research topic positions clothing as a dynamic site where tradition, innovation, and digital transformation converge, inviting interdisciplinary inquiry that bridges theory, practice, and cultural discourse.


Clothing heritage links individual lived experience with broader historical narratives, while digital fashion expands the possibilities for creative practice, intelligent design, and cultural reinterpretation. By drawing upon perspectives from design, art, anthropology, sociology, textile science, cultural studies, media theory, and digital technology, this topic aims to advance theoretical reflection and contemporary innovation in clothing culture. It encourages research that reconsiders the evolving relationships between heritage and futurity, indigeneity and globalization, materiality and virtuality.


This Research Topic seeks to build an international, cross-disciplinary knowledge community that fosters new methodological approaches, culturally grounded narratives, and practice-driven pathways for understanding and revitalizing clothing heritage in the digital age.
