This episode is an interview with the Fabricant’s ceo and co-founder Kerry Murphy, dissecting the Fabricant’s recent collaboration with Highsnobiety on the ‘Not in Paris’ flagship event.

‘Not in Paris’ is a multimedia hub by Highsnobiety, featuring a series of curated brand collaborations and exclusive content to celebrate the latest in art, fashion, music, design, and tech.

For the Not in Paris 2023 edition, The Fabricant created a series of digital fashion collectibles that were exhibited in the store alongside 20 other brand collaborations and exclusive content. 

“What we really wanted to establish for the Fabricant’s presence next to all these physical items, is an interactive experience.” 

Kerry used this Highsnobiety example to highlight how we no longer go to fashion stores to buy clothes. But rather we are seeking engaging and shareable experiences that allow us to immerse in a brands storytelling and community.

The Fabricants digital collectables highlight the new wave of experiential retail that luxury brands are embarking on to ignite more interactivity and elevated experiences in their physical spaces.

So, What Will People Wear in the Future? – Here are three of the weirdest theories I’ve learnt from my podcast:

1. Theory 1: Elon Musk’s Neuralink!

Elon Musk's Neuralink is revolutionising human-computer interaction. While the focus is primarily on healthcare and technology, Neuralink's impact on fashion shouldn't be overlooked as it could offer mind-controlled clothing customisation...

2. Theory 1: The Bio-Integrated Wardrobe!

Advancements in nanotechnology and biotechnology could lead to clothes that merge with our bodies. Bio-integrated clothing could monitor health, regulate temperature, and enhance physical abilities. However, it is important to remember there are ethical considerations and potential implications of privacy and consent.

3. Theory 3: Sustainable and Upcycled Fashion!

A shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly materials and manufacturing techniques could alter the type of fashion products and aesthetics we wear as brands shift to 100% recycled fabrics and biodegradable materials. Focusing on repairing, upgrading, and repurposing garments for reduced consumption.

Overall, the future of fashion holds immense possibilities for innovation and personal expression.

Let me know which theory resonated with you the most and for more future-focused explorations on the future of fashion listen to the What's Fashion Technology Podcast!

Artificial intelligence is the ability of a computer or machine to complete tasks normally carried out by humans. Also known as AI, the technology has recently experienced massive acceleration across multiple industries. However how do we ensure AI does not overpower true human creativity or humanity as a whole.

This week's guest Oliver Hatton studied Industrial Design and Technology has and has already had a 9 year-long career, designing everything from sex toys to spaceships. Now Oliver has embraced AI and claims it has allowed him to be 100 years ahead in his design work.
