High-Tech Diversity. How Innovation Is Driving Inclusive Fashion
The adaptive clothing market is growing by 12% per year, and this is not a matter of ethics, but of new technological opportunities. When traditional standards no longer work, innovations come on the scene: 3D body scanning, personalized design, artificial intelligence, adaptive materials and digital customization. They serve as an instrument of equality and allow everyone to feel comfortable and beautiful. During the session, experts will discuss how technology helps to redefine the very concept of fashion so that it makes room for different bodies, cultures, identities and stories. How can inclusivity be transformed from a trend into a norm, from a slogan into a working tool?
- Will inclusive fashion become the standard or will it remain a niche?
- Where is the main challenge — in technology, the economics of production, or the mindset of designers and managers?
- Is it possible to mass produce adaptive clothing without increasing the cost?
- How can we convince big brands to invest in inclusive collections?
