In Fashion Tech: AI Pattern Design, students will harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to embark on a virtual globetrotting adventure, exploring diverse communities and cultures worldwide. We will explore the world through patterns and textiles and learn about the different values and meanings visually encoded in them. With the growth of fast fashion, garments are no longer encoded with the value systems of our cultures. In this studio, students use their own life values to inspire patterned garments and harness AI to bring their designed patterns to life. Finally, they will use fabric hand printing techniques and transfer these patterns onto garments, capturing the essence of their values, culture, and diversity into their own creations.
