FashionTech & the Future of Wearable Designs | Free Talk

Event

Join visionary Dutch FashionTech designer Anouk Wipprecht as she explores how fashion, science, and technology merge to shape the future of wearable design.

From her iconic Spider Dress to collaborations with Intel, Disney, and Cirque du Soleil - Wipprecht's talk will delve into the exciting frontier where fashion becomes interactive and technology meets the human body.

Drawing on machine learning, biomimicry, sensors, and animatronics, Wipprecht's designs behave like living systems - breathing, reacting, and redefining how you interact with your environment. She invites you to imagine a future where clothing doesn't just express who you are, but actively interfaces, protects, and communicates with the world around you.

A Public Talk with Anouk Wipprecht presented by University of Canberra's Collaborative Robotics Lab in collaboration with Canberra Museum + Gallery. Part of the UC-CRL Robots Among Us talk series.
