Got a bit of free time in August? Fancy trying out speculative design? Want to change the world(s)? Join us! #speculativedesign #sustainablefashion
In August we're bringing our #FashionFictions prototyping experience online for the first time! Work solo or with others to create an image/object to represent life in a fictional world. (Because to create a better fashion system, we have to be able to imagine alternatives!) 1/3
