With a little creativity, we can reimagine how our clothes are designed, made and worn. 

Join us for an exclusive first look at our new theme! For “A CUT ABOVE”, we’ve curated  a selection  of  pioneering  brands  breaking boundaries and taking fashion to the next level  with their  originality, creativity and a whole lot of imagination.

This unique online event will run PechaKucha style, with a selection of the brands featured in the theme sharing their insights into how they are reimagining their own design processes.

You’ll discover how materials are sustainably sourced, learn about precise designs, assembly techniques that minimise waste and modular outfits that create never-ending styles. We'll also dive into the ground-breaking new technologies that are moving fashion into the digital domain.
