On 11 December 2025, the European Fashion Heritage Association (EFHA) and the Château de Versailles will host Weaving Connections, an international symposium dedicated to the future of fashion, costume, and textile heritage.

We are now welcoming proposals from curators, conservators, scholars, archivists, and organisations working across material culture, design, and heritage. Submissions that address digitisation, conservation, interpretation, sustainability, underrepresented histories, or decolonial practices are especially encouraged.

There is still time to apply:
Submit a short proposal (max 300 words) and a brief biographical note (max 150 words) to info@fashionheritage.eu.

• Deadline: 10 September 2025
• Notification: 20 September 2025

Join us in Versailles this December to help shape a more connected and sustainable future for fashion heritage.
