Digital Fashion Futures (Antwerp, 24-26 February 2015)
Justine De Young
In collaboration with MoMu – Fashion Museum Province of Antwerp, Europeana Fashion hosts its third annual conference in Antwerp on 24, 25 and 26 February 2015.
The conference DIGITAL FASHION FUTURES explores the future of digital fashion initiatives, bringing together a multitude of online fashion platforms and innovative perspectives from the cultural heritage industry.
On the first day, the conference examines ways in which digital content can be worked into a valuable experience for its consumers as well as the evolving role of digital content in business models for fashion. On the second day, various workshops and debates allow delegates to delve deeper into the ideas presented on the first day. Throughout the conference, delegates are encouraged to evaluate their own role in the future landscape of fashion.
This is a preliminary programme of keynote lectures, workshops and activities that will be updated and expanded regularly. Find out more about the programme and speakers.
