online fashion systems & digital literacy
05/11/2024 : 11.00/16.00
Examining fashion in today's digital landscape, exploring the different paths that exist between digital fashion, online fashion and fashion technology. We will reflect on what it means to be 'online' and explore how to critically engage with digital spaces in order to exercise digital agency and consider the concept of 'freedom' within digital spaces. We'll look at how the fashion industry and individual practitioners have adapted to online environments and unpack different approaches to 'using' the online realm - whether as a tool, approach, connector or material - as a prompt to think about different ways in which 'the digital' can function within creative practice.
