Designing Fashion in the Synthocene Era: The Future of Style is Here
About the Event
Fashion is no longer just about next season's trends—it's about the radical transformation of style itself.
The Synthocene is the new era where technology isn't a tool—it's a co-creator. A design world where the synthetic and the natural coexist, and where AI and digital craftsmanship are rewriting the rules of creation and the future of style.
Join this cutting-edge Future Lab session to explore the seismic shifts shaping our wardrobes and our world. Get a firsthand look beyond the runway to see how designers are crafting a post-digital aesthetic, harnessing everything from intelligent materials to virtual couture.
