In this 2-hour workshop, we explore the intersection of art and technology; where garments are no longer static, but dynamic, responsive, and alive with possibility. From wearable sensors and smart textiles to AI-driven design and interactive couture, FashionTech opens up entirely new ways of thinking about the body, identity, and expression.
We’ll begin with a lecture showcasing pioneering projects and concepts in this space. You’ll see how technology can be embedded into fashion not just for function, but for storytelling, emotion, and impact.
From there, you will work in teams to imagine and design your own FashionTech concepts. Think beyond traditional clothing: What could a garment do? How could it react, communicate, or transform? What problems could it solve or what experiences could it create?
This is a space for experimentation, bold ideas, and creative freedom. No technical background is required! Just curiosity and imagination.
The participants can bring a sketchbook, pencils or laptop to make designs or proposals to present in the end. Whatever tools they use to be able to communicate their ideas.
Our invited guest will be Anouk Wipprecht Dutch FashionTech designer, engineer and innovator. She creates designs that move, breathe, and respond to their environment. Her “technological couture” combines artificial intelligence, engineering, natural sciences, and interaction/user experience. She creates technologically advanced designs that blend fashion and technology in unusual ways: she creates technological couture in which systems surrounding the body strive for artificial intelligence and appear as “host” systems on the human body. In collaboration with companies such as Intel, Swarovski, Cirque du Soleil, NASA, and Audi, she shows us what our future wardrobe might look like if we integrate the latest technology into our clothing.
