In the Lab: Processing Fashion

Fashion & Technology, University of Art and Design Linz (AT)

POSTCITY

With its inhumane and environmentally destructive production methods, fast fashion has long since surpassed all boundaries. Fashion & Technology offers alternatives to the system with new, sustainable processes. The participatory workshop situation *In the Lab: Processing Fashion* aims to make them visible and tangible. Material development, shaping techniques and design processes that take place before product solutions, are the focus of attention.

The Fashion & Technology students’ examples range from a reinterpretation of traditional craft techniques through biochemical kitchen experiments to the emergence-and death-of digital bodies. In a laboratory situation in POSTCITY, these projects are playfully and seriously investigated.

Fashion & Technology is a bachelor’s and master’s program for contemporary fashion design at the Art University Linz.
