About
Digital technology has transformed our everyday lives and the pandemic has accelerated this. The fashion industry is at the forefront of embracing the change, from the first ever fully digital, gender neutral London Fashion Week in June 2020, to the Institute of Digital Fashion’s digital try-ons, totalling 1.8 million wears in one day. The revolution in IRL x URL experiences, services and products is continuing to impact the way we consume, wear and produce fashion.
Join Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, and Leanne Elliott Young and Cattytay, co-founders of the Institute of Digital Fashion, as they discuss how we can use digital technology to shape a more sustainable and democratic future for the fashion industry. As the sector continues to face enormous challenges as a result of COVID-19, the talk theorises our possible fashion futures, stepping into the fashion week of 2040.
The discussion explores the way in which the British Fashion Council and the Institute of Digital Fashion are already innovating in this area by bringing together fashion, culture and technology in unique and unprecedented ways.
Hosted by The London EDITION in Fitzrovia, a space that brings together a seamless blend of charisma and ease with all the hallmarks of the EDITION brand.
