Modeklasse
Pillow Talks is a new conversation series by the Fashion Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna that places
fashion within its broader cultural, social, and artistic contexts. In an intimate, moderated setting, invited guests from
across the international fashion field reflect on their creative practice, professional trajectories, and the ideas that shape
their work.
Hosted by Monica Titton, each session unfolds as a relaxed yet
incisive exchange - a space for both critical reflection and personal storytelling. From formative influences and creative
doubts to defining moments and future visions, the conversations move fluidly between the big questions and the small details
that make up a life in fashion. Modeklasse Pillow Talks invites students, the wider university community and a fashion-conscious
audience from Vienna to encounter fashion not only as an industry, but as a cultural language embedded in everyday life.
The second edition of Modeklasse Pillow Talks features Serge Carreira, Director of
Emerging Brands Initiative at the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode in Paris and affiliated Professor at the School
of Management and Impact of Sciences Po Paris. During his career, he worked, notably, for Galeries Lafayette, Prada,
Miu Miu and Mary Katrantzou.
