Digital technologies are fundamentally changing how fashion is designed, produced and consumed. On-demand production and mass customization make it possible to produce clothing only when it is really needed - individually adapted, resource-saving and locally manufactured.
The presentation will show how 3D design, virtual prototypes, automated production processes and digital twins are paving the way for new business models. At the same time, the combination of personalization and circularity opens up new perspectives for sustainable fashion consumption. What does it mean when users become co-designers? And how can data, materials and design decisions be linked in such a way that textile products become more durable, traceable and recyclable?
Based on current projects and practical examples, it becomes clear that the future of fashion lies in flexible, data-based and circular systems.
