  • Who can applyCase Study The Intersection of Digital Technology and Fashion Design and Product Development ACCESS THE MAGAZINE FORMAT* OF THE CASE STUDY (which includes slide deck examples) HERE : https://heyzine.com/flip-book/6654021dab.html How is digital technology intersecting with traditional, craft processes and affecting the future of fashion design? There is a growing opportunity for fashion designers to use digital technologies strategically.
  • Who can applyFor instance, McKinsey and Company (2023 - see bibliography at end of document) noted that generative AI is "giving fashion professionals and creatives the technological tools to do certain tasks dramatically faster, freeing them up to spend more of their time doing things that only humans can do." Digital technology enables designers to communicate traditionally handdrawn ideas quickly and across vast networks.
  • Who can applyDigital technologies that are supporting designers in the sampling process include advanced computer aided design, artificial intelligence (AI), and 3-D design software. Additionally, generative AI may be used to create high-quality, interactive collections and creative portrayals of products (Richford, 2023). Digital technology in design and product development continues to improve accuracy and efficiency of the garment development process through fits, vendor communications, and technical design.
  • Who can applyAs a counterpoint, journalists have expressed concern that AI will make design trends more homogenized ( YEC , 2023). Therefore, alongside increased use of technology, fashion professionals are also exploring traditional handmade processes, natural materials, and ancient print techniques. The dynamics of technology and craft points to an industry where craft and technology can co-exist. As Bain (2023) theorized, "Just as photography didn't spell the extinction of painting, generative AI won't kill off human designers.
  • Who can applyIt may even create more appreciation for the physical craft of fashion." Thus, while evolving digital technology provides advancing opportunities, many brands continue to express interest in the use of time-honored skills and craft within design. The spectrum of craft to technology in design & product development Examples of digital technology within fashion design exist. ● In 2018, Robbie Barrat created a Balenciaga collection using AI resulting in an Acne Studios collaboration and early conversations surrounding the potential for AI in fashion (Sicardi, n.d.).
  • Who can apply● Companies like Adobe, Browzwear CLO , and OpenAI are all working to improve the design and development process through advancing digital technologies such as 3D design. Director for Technical Design at Thinx (2023) explained that by using 3D design software, the brand is able to ensure appropriate fit and adjust patterns for scale prior to making the initial sample.
  • Who can applyIn the future, technology-driven design and development ideas are likely to include the use of digital technology and AI throughout the design process, from concept development to mass customization (Lee, 2023e). Examples of craft in fashion design also exist. ● Considering the future of natural materials, Ecco Leather is exploring the future of natural materials with a long-term partnership with mycelium producer Ecovative (Davidson & Tillman, 2022). Some brands are blending craft and technology.
  • Who can apply● Loewe flipped the switch on how we see digital technology IRL , creating digital-glitch-styled pieces in the S/S 23 collection (Brain, 2023).

You must address design practices spanning craft and/or digital technology to advance the chosen brand's mission, processes, and market relevancy in the modern, technology-driven world. To advance design practices in a technology-driven world, your vision may reflect trends in materials, production processes, and/or design technique.
  • Who can applyFor example, you may address evolving digital technologies such as 3-D prototyping of digital design.
