Unique and self fulfilling, drawing from its own period, place, and context to produce an aesthetic that elucidates the present moment in such a way as to highlight what might come next, fashion is not only about style but also about identity; it provides a way for the wearer to express through their clothes who they are at any given time. It is no surprise then, that as the world transitions to an increasingly hybrid mode of digital and physical engagement and experience, the fashion industry is one of the first sectors to embrace and be embraced by this new reality.
