Behind the exhibition ‘Fashion Tech & Fashion’s Sustainable Growth Layer’ is the innovation network Lifestyle & Design Cluster in collaboration with four educational institutions: VIA University College, the Danish Design School, Copenhagen, School of Design and Technology (KEA) and Kolding School of Design. Each of the four schools has selected three talents, each with their own take on what sustainable fashion design may be in the not too distant future. This includes not only technological and material-based solutions but also new ways to manufacture, sell and consume clothing.
Technology and sustainability are increasingly being incorporated into the latest collections by the most visionary brands in the business, which have truly embraced the task of creating a greener fashion industry. In the fashion industry’s growth layer, these years also mark the start of a new, sustainable future, which requires innovation in terms of materials, business models, design approaches, customer understanding and aesthetics.
