“Fashion Tech: Rethinking Fashion in the Age of Digitalization”

Thursday, May 2, 2019 - 1:00pm
Room 322 (3rd Floor) at 230 Richmond St. W. Toronto, M5V 1V3

Come join us for a lecture followed by Q&A with esteemed designer Anouk Wipprecht!

Dutch FashionTech designer Anouk Wipprecht creates designs ahead of her time; combining the latest in science and technology to make fashion an experience that transcends mere appearances. She wants her garments to facilitate and augment the interactions we have with ourselves and our surroundings. Her Spider Dress is a perfect example of this aesthetic, where sensors and moveable arms on the dress help to create a more defined boundary of personal space while employing a fierce style. Partnering up with companies such as Intel, AutoDesk, Google, Arduino, Microsoft, Samsung, Adobe, Adidas, Cirque Du Soleil, Audi, Disney, Swarovski, and 3D printing company Shapeways she researches how our future would look as we continue to embed technology into what we wear, and more importantly – how this will change our perspective on how we will interface with technology.

Presented by the Digital Futures Graduate Program
