The fashion sector is undergoing a revolution. From gaming and music culture to digitally connected apparel, new technologies are influencing how we define the word itself; fashion.

‍What can be considered fashion, and how has our perception of fashion changed and adapted? How and what will fashion be in the future?
‍

With a variety of projects with significant investments being launched in the EU, the future holds new standards for the textile industry, with recycling being a highlighted and rapidly growing sector. With the development of Spinning Jenny over 250 years ago, fashion was at the forefront of innovation. In today’s rapidly changing world – where business models are built around user communities – sustainability and digitalization fashion struggle to keep up with a new reality.

Disruptive cross-collaborations between industry sectors and the development of e-commerce, AR/VR dressing rooms, temperature-changing smart materials – and all that goes beyond – will have a massive impact on the fashion industry.
