The theme of the 23rd Annual International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) is “Fashioning Resurgence: Our Time is Now”. This is a congregation of speculative, iterative, and transformative ideas along with action in the field of Design, Education and Fashion Industry.

This is a platform where academicians, policymakers, designers, artists, artisans, students, industry representatives and other leaders converge for insightful conversations and discussions and make actionable plans for the future of the global fashion industry and affiliated fields.

Temporalities in the Current Global Situation

We are faced by three kinds of temporalities calling for immediate attention and action: The Emergent; The Urgent; and The Incumbent.

The Emergent, The aftermath of the recent global pandemic has compelled us to reform fashion consumption, and recalibrate our future endeavors in material diversity, resource exchange, emergent philosophies, and beyond.
