Style3D X FEL Launch Success!
A big thank-you to all that attended the Style3D Styleverse Innovation Center launch at FEL’s Unit 4 in Haringey last Thursday – what an amazing day!
The event was packed all day, and both teams from Style3D and FEL were kept busy showing this innovative technology alongside Kornit and Zund Digital and FEL’s made-to-demand production factory.
The CEO of Style3D, Eric Liu, talked to attendees from press, industry and education through Style3D’s numerous capabilities and how digital is transforming the future of the fashion industry.
Feedback from the attendees was fantastic. Julia Redman, an industry professional in Buying & Product Development said: “A really inspiring evening, thank-you for inviting us along. You’re absolutely right, both businesses and students entering the industry need to be 3D ready! The development and uptake of new technology is key to reducing waste and improving transparency across the fashion industry. Thank-you to your team along with Style3D for sharing the potential.”
Estelle Pearce, an MA Digital Fashion Lecturer / Creative Pattern Cutter added: “What an incredible event! I left feeling inspired to create knowing that the technologies I’ve been desiring are now accessible, amazing facilities with a wealth of knowledge and skills to tap into.”
Take a look at the Styleverse Innovation Center in this short YouTube video.
More to be announced on Style3D courses soon.
Today’s Free Masterclass
This morning FEL’s CEO Jenny Holloway supported up and coming designers at the FC Designer Workspace and externally with a 1-hour, free Zoom masterclass on ‘Building a Strong Foundation for Your Fashion Venture.’
Jenny has over 25-years of industry experience and as an accomplished industry mentor she was able to go through each key point and adapt the information to questions and comments from attendees as they came in. The session was packed full of information, advice and industry examples and was very well received.
Don’t miss the next free masterclass: The Fashion Entrepreneur’s Toolkit: Strategies for Operational Excellence and Growth on Wednesday 25th October.
Talking Fashion’s Future with the Northern Clothing and Textile Network
On Friday 29th September, Jenny Holloway joined Harriet Skinner from CXIX, Salli Deighton from LaundRe and Josh Nussenbaum from SeFF Fibre, to speak at the Northern Clothing and Textile Network event.
In this edition, the topic focused on the latest cutting-edge technologies and exciting developments shaping the future of the sector. The timing was perfect as Jenny presented remotely from the ‘just launched’ Style3D Styleverse Innovation Centre at FEL’s HQ in Haringey.
Attendees, both at the Northern Design Centre, Gateshead and online, could see Jenny explaining the amazing capabilities of Style3D, along with Kornit Digital, Zund Digital and on-demand micro-factory production for an efficient, sustainable and UK based business model.
Thank-you to the Northern Clothing and Textile Network for inviting FEL to speak at this sold out event.
