MakeFashion: Coming Soon

The MakeFashion initiative is a collaboration of great minds who want to demonstrate that the convergence of Technology and Art can result in a form, fashion and community brand new to Calgary. Creativity and innovation are the guiding principles to unit fashion, jewelry and accessories designers with software and hardware engineers. Along with technology enthusiasts, creatives and those that just simply like to engage in cultural experiments – all are invited to participate in the MakeFashion event series.

Beginning with a Launch Party in early April, followed by a series of Workshops on jewelry making, hats,shoes and handbags retrofitting and leather crafting. A Symposium of thought leadership of where Art and Technology can take us culturally and economically and the Grand Finale Fashion Show showcasing “best-in-breed” designers in mid-September. All materials “fashioned” will be using two main products, LED lights and EL wire.

The following organizations are on board: Digital Alberta, Endeavor Art Gallery, Beakerhead, Protospace, the Costume Shop, Victoria Park BRZ… and we are just getting started…
