Fashion, design, art and architecture have shared styles, trends and influences throughout history. Analysing the interconnections and the relationships between these areas is a challenge: ways of working and style references in art, fashion and architecture are increasingly converging, as is the history and role of the avant-garde in all these disciplines: sustainability and multidisciplinary creators in a global environment also contribute to recharacterising the cities in which they work.

Eloy Martínez and Stephan Janson will talk about changes in urban centres and how these changes come about.

Eloy Martínez de la Pera is an art and fashion curator as well as a producer of contemporary art exhibitions for public and private organisations; projects that reflect the beauty of the dialogues that silently take place between photography, visual arts and fashion, which has allowed him to design some of the most mediatic exhibitions in recent years. These exhibitions contribute to the dissemination of the image of a prestigious city.

Stephan Janson is a French designer and curator currently working for Yves Saint Laurent aux musées, in Paris, with which Yves Saint Laurent celebrates the 60th anniversary of his first fashion show, and pays tribute to him with an exhibition in six museums, to highlight his contribution to the image of Paris as a city of art: the Musée Picasso (until 15/4), the Musée d'Art Moderne and the Musée d'Orsay (until 15/5), the Centre Pompidou and the Louvre (until 16/5), and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent (until 18/9).

Moderated by Amalia Bulnes, cultural journalist and literary critic. She worked in El Diario and now collaborates with El País, Canal Sur Radio and Television.
