You will hear about digital twins, designing with digital in mind, how virtual reality and augmented reality are evolving fashion in new ways, and encouraging a new mindset of garment ownership in place of consumption.

Exploring what it means to digitize the physical world of fashion and how this may improve our environmental footprint.

CFS Roundtable — Denim Digitization

The fashion system today is designed and capitalized based on a linear take-make-disposal approach: a 100 percent consumption model based on “units sold”.

Digitization has successfully disrupted other industries, transforming them from consuming physical products (units sold), to circular models - utilizing products (times used), such as Uber for the automotive industry, Spotify for the music industry, Airbnb for the hospitality industry, and many more.

Digitization is the key to make fashion circular, enabling traceability, transparency: A more sustainable ecosystem for both businesses and the planet.

Each week, CFS podcast will share insights from leaders of change in Design, Technology, and Sustainability who are accelerating the global transition to a digitized circular fashion system.
