As part of the Altaroma Fashion Week , which will be held on January 24-27, 2019 at the Prati Bus District, the Fondazione Mondo Digitale is promoting Fashion Digital Made to accelerate digital transformation in the fashion sector, promote Italian SMEs and develop new professional profiles and competences amongst generations.
A hood that monitors our heartbeat and uses lights and colours to communicate our moods, fibre optic stitching, clothes that produce sounds when touched and electronic prostheses that amplify perception. There are 40 projects designed and produced by young stylists, designers, developers and makers from 14 countries around the world that were selected through an international call to participate in the Fashion Digital Night on January 25, 2019 at 9 pm. A special catwalk dedicated to the new frontiers of wearable technology in four main areas: wearable technology, digital manufacturing, bio materials and smart brides.
On January 24-27, 2019, the Prati Bus District will host the Fashion Hub 4.0, a temporary exhibition organised by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, to reveal the secrets and potential of new technology for the fashion sector: live demos with 3D printers, the production of custom-tailored accessories with digital manufacturing devices and immersive experiences to relive the excitement of the great fashion shows, from Milan to New York.
At the end of the event, the Fondazione Mondo Digitale will launch a new challenge for designers and creatives: develop prototypes of intelligent clothes and accessories to present to a leading sector company. The initiative is promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, in collaboration with Altaroma and other partners, including: 3DiTALY, Fashion Concept Web Model Agency, Trotec, Moodart Fashion School, Accademia Italiana, ITmakES, Fabricademy and the Italian Consulate General in Barcelona.
