In this workshop, you will design your own digital fashion – from the initial idea to the virtual fashion show. You will start with pen and paper and then bring your ideas into three-dimensional space: using VR glasses, you will design directly in 3D, experimenting with proportions, volume and details. Step by step, we will show you how to place your finished outfit on an avatar and move it through a virtual space. Finally, we will present your designs in a joint virtual fashion show.
No prior knowledge is required – curiosity and a desire to experiment are all you need.
The workshop is run by FemReality – an organisation that opens up creative and accessible paths into digital worlds. (www.femreality.com)
