Description

While digital fashion’s roots can be traced back to the development of the Jacquard loom, its modern-day antecedents are found in video games and Instagram filters—allowing users to apply virtual makeup, accessories, and clothes to their posts.

With 12 essays and four specialist interviews, this collection begins with digital fashion's origins, its placement in the history of fashion, and its status as an aesthetic object. Part 2 focuses on the practice of making digital fashion, including NFTs, sneaker culture, cyborg vs skins, and education. Part 3 provides a critical overview of digital fashion's potential to impact wider society, including questions of social equity, sustainability, and African decoloniality and the future of the industry.
