Fashion, Innovation, Research, Evolution

Little is known about the networks and collaborative process that form the ecosystem of the designer fashion and textile sector. Our Creativeworks London project enabled a collaboration between software developers Minified and Prof Sandy Black of London College of Fashion, UAL (with researcher Gabrielle Miller) to test a new method of mapping interactions within the designer fashion and textile sector.

We will present the project, the prototype survey and data gathered so far, followed by a panel discussion with the project team and invited fashion and textile designers. Issues to be discussed include: developing an R&D culture for fashion and textiles, fostering collaboration and open innovation in a culture of secrecy; the digital shift in relation to fashion design cycles.
