Call for paper Issue 6 (2025): FASHION TECHNOLOGY. CRAFTING THE FUTURE OF FASHION WITH DATA, MATERIALITY, AND DIGITAL INNOVATION
Guest Editors: Troy Nachtigall and Bruna Petreca
Fashion Technology is at an inflection point. As digital tools, computational design, and new materials redefine the ways we conceive, produce, use and "re-" Fashion, the Textile, Clothing, Leather and Footwear (TCLF) Sector faces both unprecedented challenges and novel opportunities. The intersection of fashion and technology is no longer a niche domain; it is reshaping the core craftsmanship, sustainability, design, communication, image and essence of what fashion means. This Issue 6 of Fashion Highlight invites contributions that critically explore fashion technology as a driver of material, aesthetic, and systemic transformation. We seek papers that investigate how digital and data-enabled processes are shaping contemporary fashion practices, fostering sustainability, and redefining the relationship between body, garment, and wearer.
