Have you ever wondered what interfaces for the virtual world will look like as technology moves towards a seamless integration of digital and physical realms? And how do you envision the evolution of fashion dissemination within this immersive hybrid environment?
Costas Kazantzis is a Creative Technologist at the Fashion Innovation Agency and he is also lecturing at London College of Fashion. Costas focuses on identifying novel ways through which game engine technology, 3D design, and XR can reshape the way fashion and art content is disseminated.
"I believe that in the future we will come to a point where younger people will not be able to understand in detail why we had a screen as a dimension to interact with the virtual world. This is because technology is bringing us to an ecosystem where digital and physical will be completely merged.
I believe that we will come to a point where smartphone will be replaced with something else, allowing us to be completely immersed in these hybrid worlds.
I think that is extremely important to try and question how it will be disseminating fashion within this environment."- Costas Kazantzis
His practice lies at the intersection between fashion media production, visual communication, and computer science. Through his deep understanding of immersive technologies and experience working across collaborative digital fashion projects, Costas provides insight into the delivery and development of these projects from conception to realisation.
"I very much believe that by blending emerging and traditional practices, we can create models within fashion, which are more sustainable and inclusive."
