In a remarkable display of innovation and cultural appreciation, we recently unveiled the culmination of our participation in a ground breaking project that seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and the rich heritage of traditional textiles.
Organized by Black and Scot, a non-profit organization at the forefront of driving positive change through equity and technology initiatives, “The Creative Gap” Project brought together a diverse array of talents, including AI experts, sustainability practitioners, and fashion designers.
Supported by the generous seed funding from Aberdeen City Council, the initiative aimed to explore the boundless potential of emerging technologies in the fashion realm while celebrating the profound symbolism and craftsmanship woven into traditional textiles like the iconic Aso-Oke fabric from West Africa.
Our Director, Temitayo Alabi, played a pivotal role in this transformative endeavour, collaborating with a team of visionaries who shared a passion for creating a more equitable and eco-conscious future for the fashion industry. She stated that “This project has been an incredible journey of discovery and innovation,” “By seamlessly blending cutting-edge AI technology with the rich cultural heritage of traditional textiles, we’ve been able to push the boundaries of what’s possible in fashion design.”
One of the standout moments of the project was witnessing the creative prowess of generative AI, which elevated the design concepts to new heights. The seamless integration of AI and human expertise was a testament to the transformative power of collaboration and openness to new ideas.
Very lovely
