Design, Fashion and Digital Clothing

This track invites multidisciplinary contributions that critically explore how digital material craftsmanship, development of hybrid methods of design and fabrication, textile and fashion processes and digital interfaces and tools intersect to reshape the futures of clothing. As digital technologies increasingly reform the textile and apparel industries, new forms of creativity, craftsmanship, and production arise—ranging from simulating textiles and garments in hybrid and virtual environments to extending to novel functions of digital products and smart wearables, generating AI-driven design workflows and merging hybrid physical–digital value chains in augmented artefacts. Contributions may address theoretical and experimental research, as well as innovations in software and product development, that advance the understanding of digitalisation in textiles and fashion and its implications for sustainability, wearability, and industry professionals.

Multiscale elaboration of customized fibrous materials

Chairperson: François Boussu

ENSAIT

This workshop invites contributions that explore the full creative and technological potential of fibrous materials engineered across multiple scales. We welcome forward-looking work that challenges existing paradigms, whether through novel fibre architecture, unconventional manufacturing strategies or disruptive design methodologies that unlock new functional properties, beyond conventional textile processing.

We encourage submissions across a broad spectrum, from fundamental research into how process parameters shape material behaviour at each structural scale to the translation of these insights into customised, application-driven solutions. Contributions that address the interplay between micro-, meso- and macro-scale features, and how their interactions can be deliberately engineered, are particularly welcome.

We also warmly welcome contributions that push the boundaries of textile processing by proposing adaptive or hybrid approaches that expand the capabilities of fibrous architectures. We also encourage submissions of innovative products, emerging applications and cross-disciplinary perspectives that leverage the multiscale nature of fibrous materials, as this workshop seeks to bridge the gap between scientific understanding and real-world implementation.
