Abstract

The fashion and textile industry has long been influenced by digitalisation. Digital tools offer innovative and sustainable approaches, with virtual prototyping reducing work processes. Fashion brands are increasingly utilising digital fashion, virtual reality and 3D animation for storytelling and collection presentation, engaging audiences through interactive experiences such as virtual shows. Digital tools are also improving personalisation in fashion industry, with virtual try-ons and augmented reality allowing customers to view garments before they buy. The next generations, who are more familiar with the digital world, are expected to make further progress, with education playing a key role in developing digital skills. Since 2022, the The Chair of Textile and Clothing Design at the University of Ljubljana has been participating in the Erasmus+ Me-You-Us project, a three-year collaboration with Designskolen Kolding (DK) and Willem de Kooning Academy (NL). The project aims to develop nine open-access educational modules on digital 3D skills in textile and clothing design, focussing on diversity, inclusion and sustainability. In the first year, the University of Ljubljana explored the synergy between manual and digital design and developed the module “Personal space between physical and virtual”. The students used CLO3D to develop digital collections and physical garments, bridging the gap between virtual and real fashion.
