AI, Aesthetics and Conscious Fashion

AI, Aesthetics and Conscious Fashion is an international summer program that takes students from Venice to New York to explore the future of fashion tech. This immersive two-week experience combines artificial intelligence, design thinking, and innovation to rethink how fashion is designed, produced, and experienced.

The first week takes place at the H-FARM Campus near Venice, where participants explore the digital transformation of the fashion system through hands-on workshops, case studies, and collaborative activities. From AI and 3D prototyping to immersive technologies, students gain a critical and informed understanding of the sector, working in teams on real-world challenges while developing key skills that balance aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.

The second week unfolds in New York City at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), an internationally recognized institution at the crossroads of fashion, creativity, and technology. Students engage with emerging technologies and design thinking while exploring the city’s unique fashion ecosystem. Inspired by the concept of Genius Loci, participants experience the Garment District’s network of local manufacturers and suppliers, visit key cultural institutions such as the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum, and discover innovative apparel hubs at Brooklyn Navy Yard—gaining a holistic view of fashion’s heritage and future.

The program culminates in the presentation of a concrete fashion tech project, showcasing a conscious approach to design and a new generation of creatives ready to lead the evolution of the industry.
