There's a new platform in town for disruption and discovery in the mergence of fashion & technology. Startup Weekend's Fashion & Tech vertical is encouraging entrepreneurs to see opportunity in the fashion industry through technology enabled solutions.
This is the last day of the New York Fashion & Tech Startup Weekend, leading into London then Milan and then Paris, following the major fashion weeks. Poznan will also host a startup weekend in preparation for the Global Fashion Battle that will take place during Poznan's Art & Fashion Forum on October 18.
Starkweather has been involved in the conception of the Global Fashion Battle and organization of the Paris event as well as the round table on sustainability and technology in fashion on September 23.
