IAAC/Fabtextiles (SP)

The spread and accessibility to Fab Labs and makerspaces presents an opportunity in the realm of fashion and digital fabrication, meaning that alongside product designs, fashion designs can also be sent globally and made locally. Fab Textiles, a project initiated by Anastasia Pistofidou and incubated in Fab Lab Barcelona at IAAC, is implementing a new approach towards the production and distribution of fashion elements, through using distributed manufacturing infrastructures and knowledge networks. Fab Textiles is a cross-disciplinary education and research platform to investigate how production and culture can impact the way in which we consume and act in the fashion industry.
