In addition to the presentation track, students can review a 3-D trend report, with trend data by Mudpie, a virtual fashion installation with fashions created by the Fashion Research Institute’s student interns, booths and displays about programs from other fashion industry organizations; exhibits about fashion history, and a game developed just for fashion designers.
Attendance is free. All you need is a computer powerful enough to run the software (see technical requirements), Internet access, and two accounts, one on ScienceSim.com and a Skype account. Register here.
