AI, data and new technologies are changing what designers do and how they work. Sketches become 3D samples, material choices are made against shared targets, and decisions that once took weeks are moving earlier in the process. At Transformation Talks, design leaders from Nordic fashion and outdoor brands share how they are developing their work with these tools: what they have tested, what has changed in their teams and what it means for the role of the designer.
Tuesday 8 December 2026, 15.30–17.00 (time to be confirmed)
Nacka Strandsmässan, Stockholm Fashion District, Nacka Strand
