Fashion is being rewritten in real time.
The world's biggest houses Prada, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, H&M are scrambling to work out what identity, ownership and self-expression mean when bodies can be digital and clothes can live in code. The companies leading that conversation aren't the legacy ones. They're new institutes like IoDF.
For this Ambassadors Club, we're sitting down with Leanne Elliott Young, co-founder and CEO of the Institute of Digital Fashion.
Under her leadership IoDF has delivered seven industry world-firsts in metaverse fashion and become the go-to partner for brands including Meta, Prada, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, BMW, Selfridges, Soho House, Condé Nast, Vogue Italia, the Barbican and Frieze. She's been named one of the Global Top 100 Women of the Future in Emerging Tech, judges Vogue Business's Talent Competition, and has advised UK Trade on the economic potential of Web3.
It's an intimate evening with drinks, canapés, and a proper conversation with one of the people actually building the future of one of the world's largest creative industries.
Expect:
Candid stories from inside global brand boardroomsHard-won lessons on selling innovation to a 200-year-old industryA clear-eyed view of where fashion, AI and digital identity go nextAnd the room itself full of the top founders, operators and creatives from across the E2E community
Looking forward to seeing you there.
