In 2022, CIAFE introduced the Tech Skill Workshops to educate fashion students, educators, and professionals on how to incorporate technology in their academic schemes and businesses.

 

The first edition, ‘Fashion Technology 101’, was held on the 14th of January and was highly informative for every attendee. Our Operations Director, Coy Griffin explored the fundamentals of technology in fashion. In this session, she covered important topics such as: 

  • The essentials of fashion technology;

  • Fashion technology curricula; and 

  • Educational tools for innovation in the fashion industry

The session ended with an interactive Q&A segment where a lot of interesting questions were addressed.
