The DO School is accepting entries for the Connected Fashion Challenge 2019. They challenge you to co-create a fashion collection that utilises wearable technologies to connect communities in new and exciting ways.
As fashion and technology increasingly join forces, new worlds of connection and experience open up for customers and fashion lovers across the globe. Together with their partner, a leading global fashion brand, people from all backgrounds and nationalities can be at the forefront of this development. The Connected Fashion Challenge invites 20 participants from around the world and across industries and backgrounds to join them in Berlin for a 4 week innovation program from 3rd of June 2019 to 28th of June 2019.
Over the four-week innovation program, you will be guided through a tried and tested approach that takes you from an ideation phase to implementation. The outcome will be a co-created fashion line which integrates technology and will go live in the market soon after. These four weeks will be intense, innovative and fun! You will hear from relevant experts in the field, work together with our facilitators and our partner to test and prototype solutions. And finally, you will have the chance to enjoy the vibrant German capital in the summer!
