[Student Reporter] FIT Korea to Join Chiba University for Wearable Design Workshop International connections are being fostered this semester for Fashion Business Management students at SUNY Korea, who are set to take part in an international workshop at Chiba University’s Design Research Institute in Sumida, Tokyo, from April 22nd to 26th. This collaboration aims to mix fashion with the digital world, focusing on sustainable pathways to communicative, wearable technology. Dubbed “Wearable Design for Social/Emotional Communication,” students are being brought together to create wearable fashion prototypes that merge technology such as sensors and LED lights to explore new forms of communication. FIT students will conduct research over a span of five days in Tokyo, expanding their knowledge concerning communication and sustainability via technology through various activities: Day 1: Orientation and campus tour. Day 2: Special Lectures from FIT Korea, discussions on human interaction, and fieldwork. Day 3: Curating ideas, business model introduction, and digital prototyping. Day 4: Creation of prototypes, and testing. Day 5: Final presentations and feedback from faculty and experts. This collaboration between FIT SUNY Korea and Chiba University aims to prepare students for the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchanges they’ll encounter in their professional lives, while also equipping them to meet the rapidly changing demands of the fashion industry—as fabric and design are further explored through a technological and global lens. As this research project continues, watch how interdisciplinary exchanges will shape innovation, fashion, and design of the future.
