Accompanying a major exhibition at The Museum at FIT, Latin American and Latinx Fashion Design Today: ¡Moda Hoy! examines Latin American and Latinx fashion design from the past 20 years, asking “What is Latin American fashion design in the 21st century”? The book seeks to explore the sociohistorical influences and cultural dynamics that have propelled the development of the unique sartorial bricolage that is Latin American and Latinx fashion. Through a series of themes and topics favored by contemporary designers – including Indigenous heritage, art, sustainable design, politics, gender, elegance, and popular culture – it highlights established designers with a strong international presence, such as Isabel Toledo, Carolina Herrera, Rick Owens, Oscar de la Renta, Carla Fernández, and Gabriela Hearst. Accompanied by regional brands and emerging talents, and case studies that take an in-depth look into specific designers, and beautifully illustrated in full color throughout, Latin American and Latinx Fashion Design Today is essential reading for fashion enthusiasts who have an overlapping interest in Latin American studies, and all who appreciate the history and visual culture of fashion and Latin America.

The collaboration between the Textile Department of the University of Minho and the Brazilian Association of Studies and Research (ABEPEM) has led to an international platform for the exchange of research in the field of Fashion and Design: CIMODE. This platform is designed as a biennial congress that takes place in different European and Latin American countries with the co-organization of another university in each location. The current edition was jointly organized by the University of Minho and the Centro Superior de Diseño de Moda (CSDMM) - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. CIMODE's mission is to explore fashion and design from a social, cultural, psychological and communication perspective, and to bring together different approaches and perceptions of practice, education and the culture of design and fashion. Through an interdisciplinary dialogue and intercultural perspective, CIMODE wants to generate and present new scenarios about the present and future of fashion and design. ‘DISEÑO AL REVÉS’ (‘BACKWARD DESIGN’) was the central theme of the 4th CIMODE (Madrid, Spain, 21-23 May 2018), which produced a highly topical and relevant number of academic publications presented in this book.

The Design of Dissent is a global collection of socially and politically driven graphics on issues including Black Lives Matter, Trump protests, refugee crises, and the environment. Dissent is an essential part of keeping democratic societies healthy, and our ability as citizens to voice our opinions is not only our privilege, it is our responsibility. Most importantly, it is a human right, one which must be fervently fought for, protected, and defended. Many of the issues and conflicts visited in the first edition of this book remain vividly present today, as simmering, sometimes throbbing reminders of how the work of democracy and pace of social change is often incremental, requiring patience, diligence, hope, and the continuing brave voices of designers whose skillful imagery emboldens, invigorates, and girds us in the face of struggle. The 160+ new works in this edition document the Arab Spring, the Obama presidency, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, the election of Donald Trump, Putin's continuing influence, the Women's March, the ongoing refugee crises, immigration, environment and humanitarian issues, and much more. This powerful collection, totaling well over 550 images, stands not only as a testament to the power of design but as an urgent call to action.

Our book, titled "Academic Research & Reviews in Art, Design, Architecture and Fashion Breaking Creative Boundaries" consists of seven chapters. This book opens up a comprehensive exploration in the fields of art, design, architecture and fashion. It outlines rigorous research efforts examining topics ranging from proposing innovative solutions for color identification among individuals with color blindness in clothing to analyzing the complex relationship between social media influences such as TikTok and consumption patterns on platforms such as Shein. Moreover, the discourse extends to the subtle use of non-woven fabric in the textile, clothing, and fashion industries, providing a comprehensive look at industry practices. The chapters also shed light on practical applications of theoretical knowledge, as evidenced in the study detailing professional practices at Braz Fashion Company, particularly the curation of visual content for social media platforms, further highlighting the synergy between industry practices and academic research. Additionally, the book introduces intriguing concepts such as spatial production and the role of 'pop-up' dynamics in urban interiors and culminates in an exploration of the multifaceted influence of central and regional governments on community behavior in Sangiran, a UNESCO heritage site. This collaborative effort, curated by expert participants, aims not only to expand knowledge horizons in relevant fields but also to serve as a catalyst for interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the valuable authors who enriched this book with their dedication. I sincerely hope that this book will illuminate uncharted paths for researchers and provide an inspiring guide.
