Background
Tiziana has taught for several years in Film and Cultural studies, before returning to fashion, an area in which she forged a professional career for more than a decade in Italy. Between 1977 and 1991 she worked in Milan across many fields of the creative industries: in advertising, production co-ordinator on the Italian edition of ‘Vogue’ and as a freelance writer. Her PhD – a study on recent Italian cinema that blends history with the industry, was completed at Griffith University. She has published in several journals on a range of topics that include memory and history in cultural representations, as well as on the politics of fashion in Italy. From her visits to communities of women workers in the textile and clothing industry in India in the middle of the 1980s, she has developed an interest in the division of international labour and sustainability. This is the core of her current research, but other fields of publication or interest include studies on the role of the designer, fashion and film, and the politics of fashion.
