Future of fashion

The future of fashion must prepare itself for the rapidly digitising world. Advances in digital design, new forms of consumer engagement and digital-only fashion experiences are changing the relationship we have with fashion and fashion brands. In this session, we will talk about the need and challenges when digitising fashion and its supply chain, and get introduced to some impressive innovations in this space. As a takeaway, we will explore how to engage with fashion in new ways.

The future of fashion is also being redefined by new and alternative materials, such as mycelium and agriwaste. We will explore innovations in the space of bio-based and man-made materials. As a takeaway, we will discuss some key material questions to ask yourself as consumers.
