Luca Marchetti deep dives into current issues in fashion, related to inclusivity, diversity and cultural appropriation. He discusses the complexity of fashion branding and marketing especially on a global scale and to multiple generations, all with fast-shifting, sometimes contrasting, values.

With a degree in Semiotics from the universities of Bologna & Limoges, Luca Marchetti is a senior lecturer at the French Fashion Institute (IFM) in Paris, at the Sorbonne Nouvelle (University of Paris 3), at Parsons Paris at the University of Bologna. An experienced consultant and curator for international luxury brands, he also writes books and articles on fashion, design and branding, i.e. Exhibit! Fashion on Display: Exhibitions and Brand Spaces (2020), and contributes to magazines such as Vogue or Revue (with the regular column “C.Q.F.D.”).

Luca is the co-founder of The Prospectivists, an agency based in Paris, that focuses on “anticipating the future as a commitment to change in the present.”
