I am scared. Algorithms, technology, and AI are arising and inevitably taking our place in the world. When I think there is no space for a designer, a manager, a doctor, I question: how is that possible? We have adapted and evolved for over 2 billion years for our basic instinct of survivorship. This hasContinua a leggere “Banner”

I asked myself questions like: What if the world is completely covered with screens? What if it is covered in melted plastic? What if space tourism and space settling are ordinary? What if lands andContinua a leggere “Week 3: IMPACT”

In 100 years the world will be unlivable because covered of melted plastic, high temperature, and with no more resources, therefore humanity will start going on space tourism on Mars or the Moons and eventually move there and settle. Fashion will be technological and will serve as a counter gravity to be able to walkContinua a leggere “Week 3: Brainstorm Utopias”

Below the replies to our inquiries about the brand: Elisa Sugarotti (current employee), and Mathieu Hagelaars (who has worked for OW).

What is questionable about design is that Real Leather, wool, and cottonContinua a leggere “Week 2: Define “Stinky Fish””
