About US
Fashion today is not just about covering our body. It is also about defining who we are: our characters, views and stances. Hence, various styles, either formal or casual, are consciously chosen to reflect our identity. And more than just a personal expression, fashion carries out social, cultural even political implications that encourage experts and enthusiasts to discuss this prodigy in academic settings.
This year, English Language and Literature Department proudly presents the Fifth Colalite, to provide a platform for sharing ideas, thoughts and findings on this exciting subject. With the theme “Dress to kill: Fashion, Body, and Identity”, our conference aims at facilitating discussions on fashion in the perspectives of linguistics, translation, literature, culture and business.
