Technology innovations and improved environmental, social and ethical practices are fundamentally changing how clothes are made, consumed and experienced: from the integration of 2D and 3D virtual fashion and textile design and digital production methods, to material innovations, smart textiles, and the need for improved transparency.

Our future clothing solutions will focus on the interaction between materials, the body, and environments; opening up possibilities for new aesthetics, enhanced functionality and performance, and more meaningful experiences.
