DIGITAL FASHION MASTERCLASSES

Part of Bloomsbury Fashion Central and fully cross-searchable with the rest of the platform, the collection brings together unique video masterclasses from industry innovators giving extensive insider expertise supported by written case studies and teaching notes.

Exploring the full fashion value chain of design production and marketing, the series covers digital fashion topics including artificial intelligence, sustainability, digital solutions, digital design, digital transformation and more.

COLLABORATE

We collaborate with partners across the fashion industry and education to identify, develop, and articulate the focus points for digital transformation that lead from the creative spark to consumer satisfaction.

Collaborations between designers, brands, manufacturers, and retailers are becoming the norm, bringing with them the need for multiple teams to work across different processes, systems and concepts to innovate within traditionally isolated brand environments.  

THE DIGITAL LIBRARY
Our free to access Digital Library provides a growing list of key resources to help you manage your digital transformation, including Insight articles and video interviews, webinar recordings, and more.

THE FOUNDERS

With extensive international experience of fashion education and the full fashion value chain from creative concept to retail, the founders of The Digital Fashion Group are leveraging their combined knowledge to rethink how we create, produce, market, sell, and use clothing, and how fashion professionals can drive this to redefine the industry.

THE NEW

Fashion is about the “New”, but behind it is an out-of-date system based on 19th century tailoring and manufacturing with an unsustainable environmental and social impact, while fashion education perpetuates a system developed in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Both fail to adapt to changes in society and to the recent wave of new digital technologies delivering tools to reinvent every aspect of fashion education and the fashion cycle.

Video: The Digital Fashion Group

To lead the development of the digital mindset and digital strategies we focus our energy on identifying and amplifying the key digital technologies in the industry, in particular how creative talent engages with data during the design process, and how brands can adapt to Industrial Revolution 4.0.

We have a global, inclusive, flexible, hands-on approach to our work.
