Exploring the development and application of Alternative Materials
This virtual one-day conference will explore the use of sustainable alternatives to traditional materials. Looking at research-level, scaling and commercially-ready developments, the conference will highlight innovations in material science and product development among emerging materials.
Exploring the development and application of AI in textiles
Artificial intelligence (AI) is still a relatively new technology, but it has the potential to revolutionise the fashion and apparel manufacturing industry. By automating tasks such as design, pattern making, production planning and quality control, generative AI can help fashion brands to reduce costs, improve efficiency and create more innovative and personalised products.
Exploring the development and application of Sustainable Effects
As trends from the 90s and early 2000s come back around, brands are focusing on how effects used in those fashion trends can be created in a more sustainable way – such as the use of metallics and reflective materials, tie dye and denim bleaching. The virtual event will focus on the technology, materials and methods that will allow for the development of sustainable effects.
