What is a fashion tech? A question that is often asked in and out of the fashion industry, and one that confuses many people. This first episode looks to define what is fashion tech and how it is currently transforming the fashion industry. Co-hosts Peter Jeun Ho Tsang and Von N. Ruzive have an informal chat about which parts of the fashion industry technologies are impacting and which innovations are exciting them that have the potential to shape the future of how we will create, make, and consume fashion.
The episode unpacks fashion tech startups including AI trend forecasting platform T-Fashion, on-demand manufacturing platform LaunchMart, and digital fashion juggernauts The Fabricant and RTFKT. The conversation also draws upon Von’s experience with her current venture building, a fashion brand, and how in the future fashion designers may look towards embracing technology into the design process.
