Digital explorers
The first fashion course in the world to embark on such a project.
Digital Fashion - The future of Ravensbourne.
For the first time ever, Ravensbourne University fashion and gaming students collaborate to chart a course for the future of fashion in the wake of Covid-19.
Behind the scenes
Marvelous Designer,
Using Marvelous Designer, ten final-year fashion design students from the class of 2020 realised their final collections as digital avatars, fully clothed and textured in each of their personal designs in less than six weeks. In conjunction with the gaming students, these avatars were animated and uploaded into a digitally-rendered gaming environment in which users can photograph each look from any angle, while exploring different lighting and atmospheric options.
In lieu of a traditional catwalk, this project gave students the opportunity to reinvent what fashion can be in an industry dealing with important issues such as sustainability, inclusivity and over-consumption; and consider how digital fashion can play a role within all of these.
