Digital Fashion Roundtables 2.0 the Metaverse Movement
Digital Fashion Project 2022
Aarhus University in collaboration with Kolding Design School and the IT University of Copenhagen is running the Digital Fashion Roundtables for the second year. In 2022, the focus of the project is on exploring digital fashion in the metaverse.
The project aims to explore and help navigate the digital space you as a fashion company or service provider are interested in entering. The community around the project believes that the metaverse is a very open concept and there is still plenty of room to shape it together. To do this, we invite you to follow and join our project where we will guide you through open roundtable conversations with experts in the field, use cases and prototyping, exhibitions and other learning opportunities.

Opening ceremony: 10:00, 9 August, 2022
Title: Digital Fashion Exhibition – a conversation starter
Come and join us for a digital fashion experience during Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Why is digital fashion relevant and what does it even mean? How can you approach it as a company? How can you get into it as a customer? What opportunities lie in the digital space and how can they co-exist with and complement the physical.
From 9 to 12 August, Lifestyle Lab in collaboration with Aarhus University, Kolding Design School and the IT University of Copenhagen will host a small exhibition and a collection of conversations exploring the digital and the physical and what lies in between, the so-called phygital.
The exhibition will include 3D design, play, digital-only clothing, virtual reality and more, tapping into different areas of digital fashion, such as design, production, sales, new customers and platforms. The exhibition is free and open to everyone who is interested in getting into digital fashion. Stay tuned for more information about the talks and guided tours!
