ACADEMY PROGRAM II LOOM

CIRCULAR & VIRTUAL DESIGN IN THE LUXURY SEGEMENT

Over 100 international talents and designers applied for the VORN Academy Program II Loom. After a selection process by VORN - The Berlin Fashion Hub, 50 participants have been given the unique opportunity to take part in the second edition of the VORN Academy. The programme is divided into two phases: In the first phase, the professionals will take part in digital coaching, group and 1:1 sessions by industry experts and experienced trainers until 28 September.

To give the participants equal preconditions, they will receive free access to professional software from Browzwear, Clo3D, circular.fashion, Grafis CAD and Hey Fashion. The task is to develop a circular fashion concept and create three virtual designer looks. A high-caliber committee of industry insiders will evaluate the ten best portfolios at the end of the first phase.

For the second phase, the ten finalists will then receive a scholarship to participate in a four-week design sprint at the VORN Space in Berlin.
