The fashion industry is one of the most wasteful systems on the planet, but it doesn’t have to be. Micro factories offer a radically different model: small, agile, community-rooted production that can respond to real demand, reduce waste, and put creative control back in the hands of designers and makers.
This workshop, presented by The Digital Fashion Institute, brings together fashion designers, makers, technologists, and curious minds to explore what a locally-produced, digitally-enabled fashion system could actually look like and how we can start building it today.
