Fashion Photography and Styling Workshop – Istituto Marangoni
As part of the Italian Design Day worldwide, FAD Connection presents The Act of Styling: From Cows to AI with Jacopo Cozzi, the second event in the Istituto Marangoni Virtual Talks 2025 series. The session will be moderated by Paula Guardia Bourdin, who will also lead the Q&A segment.
This talk explores Styling as a form of creative action oriented toward the personal, which cannot exist without taste: the ability to make conscious decisions. While taste can stand on its own, style needs taste in order to be built. This is especially evident in the realm of fashion, where styling involves creating new images from the past and the present. But what does it really mean to create new images? Through a journey across fashion and art, graffiti and painting, photography and generative artificial intelligence, this talk seeks to decode the figure of the stylist as a visual critic of contemporary culture — sometimes, even in spite of themselves.
Jacopo Cozzi, born in Siena (Italy), studied at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University and completed a PhD in Humanities at Paris Diderot University, while working as a screenwriter. In 2015, he joined the Public Relations and Communications department at Editions de l’Olivier. He later worked as an assistant professor at Paris Diderot University and as a copywriter. In 2016, he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and taught at Wake Forest University (USA). In 2018, he joined Istituto Marangoni in Paris, and in 2019 was appointed Program Leader of Fashion Styling and Creative Direction.
