Digital fashion: a new « Eldorado »?
The pandemic has accelerated immersive technologies in fashion, transforming design and business operations. This new digital frontier offers sustainability and eco-friendliness, reshaping the industry.
The increase in the use of 3D modeling
Fashion brands have embraced 3D design to modernize workflows, enabling remote creation and reducing waste. 3D cuts production time and helps designers make adjustments, lowering returns and environmental impact.
The sustainable power of digital technologies
Collaborations like the Circular Fashion Summit with the UN promote sustainable goals for fashion. Designers such as Steven Passaro use 3D tools like Clo3D to reduce prototyping and environmental impact, sharing their journeys through digital platforms.
The experiential power of 3D
Maitrepierre’s SS Haute Couture 2021 collection, made entirely of 3D renders, bridges haute couture tradition and digital innovation. This approach highlights eco-conscious fashion by cutting down fabric waste and sampling pollution.
From 3D to virtual reality, to design immersive experiences
VR is revolutionizing fashion with virtual try-ons and immersive shows. Brands like Balenciaga create video games to showcase collections, engaging audiences in interactive, memorable ways that blend fashion and tech.
The power of augmented reality for fashion brands
AR lets customers interact with garments from home, boosting engagement without app downloads thanks to WebAR and platforms like 8th Wall. Major events and brands are using AR to enhance marketing and customer experiences.
London Fashion Week
Partnering with Dimension, London Fashion Week showcased holographic runway models via 5G smartphones, delivering futuristic fashion shows in unexpected public spaces.
