AI, Aesthetics and Conscious Fashion
AI, Aesthetics and Conscious Fashion is an international summer program that takes students from Venice to New York to explore the future of fashion tech. This immersive two-week experience combines artificial intelligence, design thinking, and innovation to rethink how fashion is designed, produced, and experienced.
The first week takes place at the H-FARM Campus near Venice, where participants explore the digital transformation of the fashion system through hands-on workshops, case studies, and collaborative activities. From AI and 3D prototyping to immersive technologies, students gain a critical and informed understanding of the sector, working in teams on real-world challenges while developing key skills that balance aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.
The second week moves to New York, one of the world’s leading hubs for fashion and innovation, hosted at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
The program culminates in the presentation of a concrete fashion tech project, showcasing a conscious approach to design and a new generation of creatives ready to lead the evolution of the industry.
AI and Innovation in Fashion
During the first week at the H-FARM Campus, participants explore the digital evolution of the fashion system through AI, 3D prototyping, and immersive technologies, developing concepts that blend aesthetics, functionality, and conscious production.
