Worn Out
Any item existing in the actual space has a life whose meaning is in the movement.
The same rule applies to fabric whose hidden charm is only unveiled with natural shrinkage.
A person’s aspiration will drive a transformation.
“Design should also about gazing and listening. I have no strong interest in the future.
More precisely,I do not believe in future. In extreme, I do not believe that I will still exist until tomorrow or the next day.
Also, I resent looking back.
But this power from the counterpart keeps pushing me to the future.
My body has been undergoing this tearing process. But I still live with resilience.”
Avant-garde, the degenerated subcategory of fashion, should be about “moving forward” rather than rebellion.
Unrealistic and whimsical designs are not difficult.
But genuine avant-garde is built on realities to provide precise answers with surprises about the future
by taking alternative pathways.
Developing and adopting a digital mindset that understands the digital landscape and the status quo.
And that can strategize for digital implementation and delivery is the foundation for digital empowerment,
both at the personal and societal level. Becoming a digital champion who can illustrate the benefits of adopting a digital mindset
and embracing the shift to digital fashion will help in achieving digital inclusion, equity and empowerment.
Design practical garments are of prime importance to me. On the contrary to the bittersweet nature of fast-fashion, I take delight in dissecting ingredients such as fabric manipulation presenting below or positioning pockets
ergonomically
with exquisite craftmanship.
The path to digital readiness for many recent graduates in the fashion profession, will likely have been a mixed one.
Professional studies taught me to be in tune with the marketplace, kept an eye on consumer demands and economic indicators may influnce buying decision under a cyclical pattern;
Fashion education has not yet fully embraced the true potential of digital technology, especially in a collaborative way. However, there is a good chance most of these graduates will be digitally intelligent and digital citizens.
There is such a thing as a dynamic intelligence decisive and iconoclastic enough to reject the idea that objects have some innate value. The newest leaders in the fashion industry will be at the forefront of the shift to digital fashion. And they will be the ones who continue to push the boundaries of technologies To shape the fashion industry of the future. To understand the major shift that is digital fashion and the impact this is having on fashion business.
Only in the late 1980s did the fashion world begin to experiment with digital design and manufacturing. Once again driven by the textile side of the business and mainly with computerized print and we've simulations. These changes were all driven by the need for improved efficiency and profit.
A steady development and adoption of digital design and manufacturing capabilities then took hold through the 1990s and 2000s. This time more driven by enhancement to the creative process. Today, the digital landscape in fashion is still focused on improving efficiency. But this time one of the overriding drivers is to address the calamitous impact of the fashion industry on the environment, combined with other initiatives such as the circular economy. Not only does the fashion industry now have multitude of ways to improve efficiency, creativity and profitability using digital software, including artificial intelligence and hardware. There can be a major impact on sustainability by eliminating much of the physical development process of creating garments and accessories. Added to that, there is now a direct route to develop fashion products and collections specifically and only for the digital world of gaming and social media if so desired.
