What Should Fashion Education Look Like in the Digital Era?

Despite the growing acceptance of digital tools for designing and developing products, the incorporation of 3D technology into the fashion industry is progressing at a slower pace compared to sectors like automotive and product design.
 
This slow adoption can be attributed to various factors inherent in the complexities of the fashion industry and its supply chain. However, there is a compelling argument suggesting that the conventional approach to fashion education, which centers on physical garment making, is failing to adequately address the knowledge gap related to screen-based 3D design and development.
 
Digital fashion is transforming fashion, which, in turn, calls into question the body of skills and knowledge traditional fashion education considers appropriate for fashion designers. Many creatives are now embracing digital design to explore novel approaches to express their creative visions, and the fashion industry is recognizing the need to keep pace with digital natives.
