[SCHEDULE] Call for Proposals: APR 4- JUN 3 Workshop: AUG 1-5
[WHATS HAPPENING] FUTURE FASHION ENHANCING LIFE is part of IKAT/eCUT, a regional project by the Goethe-Institut exploring the past, present and future of textiles in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand as traditional cultural craft, a material for art and part of the digital technology revolution. Smart textiles and wearable technologies are a hot topic now. Its the place where fashion and technology meet, generating myriad new concepts, designs and products. From belts, glasses and watches to jackets, shoes and dresses, everything that can be worn is getting the high-tech treatment. Technological advances have also been behind the evolution of the manufacturing of fashion items over recent years, whether by the development of laser cutters to create original and intricate designs or the maturing of 3D printing techniques to develop cutting-edge creations. We are now seeing a move towards new technology being reflected in the design and function of pieces themselves as well as in the manufacturing process. The Goethe-Institut is organizing a workshop, seminar and fashion show around the topic of smart textiles and wearable technologies in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The programme seeks to promote young designers and encourage dialogue among professionals in a diverse range of areas such as fashion, material science, digital technology and social product design.
