Beyond Fashion, Fab24 Mexico | Open Call
Puebla, August 8th, 2024
🚀 We seek visionary projects that go beyond conventional fashion, exploring diverse, more than human, and digital futures at the crossroads of innovation and sustainability. 💡👗
During #Fab24, participants from all over the world will have the opportunity to experience a unique eco-futuristic runway that goes beyond the norms of production and consumption. How do we imagine the future of clothing in a context where we can digitally design, fabricate, and grow our garments? Can our garments become expressive interfaces that are connected and responsive? What will occur when the only remaining resources are waste materials? If you wish to showcase your work in an international platform of fashion pioneers, read through the open call below!
