Design and Fashion Design: A Chromatic History
Deadline for full papers: May 31, 2025.
Guest Editor Prof. Raimonda Riccini: full professor in design, design historian, founder and past president of the Italian Association of Design Historian-AIS/Design, and past president of the Italian Society of Design-SID.
In design and fashion, color has always played a central and significant role in many respects. It is enough to recall the characterising role of color in industrial products, both from the point of view of sales strategies and corporate identity and from that of user perception and usability; the contribution of color to interaction processes, but also those of signification, communication and graphic and visual systems; not to mention the relevance of the color component in the study and use of materials, from fabrics to natural and polymeric materials. No less significant is the contribution that the study of color has made and continues to make to design education and didactics, starting from the great lessons of the VkHutemas, the Bauhaus, the New Bauhaus and the School of Ulm, which have built an indispensable grammar and syntax, valid even in the face of the transition from analogue to digital. Finally, the contribution that designers, sometimes implicitly, have made to construct a theory and culture of color in design is particularly rich.
However, until now, there has been no reflection on the role that color has historically played in the fields of product, fashion, and communication, as well as in relation to the changes brought about by electronics and the digital. This special issue explores the multifaceted relationship between design and color throughout the 20th century. The essays are expected to reconstruct this relationship from a historical perspective in the different fields of interest.
Keywords: history of color in design; theory and culture of design color; color and product design; color and fashion; color and communication design; color and design education.
