Fashion Thinking: the creative process goes open source

REGISTER ONLINE to bring the aspiration, spectacle and desire of the fashion industry to your work.

The fashion industry can sometimes appear frivolous or too focused on the short term burn and churn of “the season.” The fact remains, however, that this sector has cornered the market on commercializing aspiration, spectacle and desire.

In this interactive workshop, you will hear from a team of thought leaders about a new framework that will teach you “how to do it like a fashion designer” by exploring the activities and mindsets of the fashion industry and “Fashion Thinking” methods that can help re-invigorate your business.
