EIB XVI. fashion design competition
Contact! It is the most important thing that establishes the relationship between the world inside man and the world outside. The human spirit touches the universe on this occasion… And the fingerprint left in every touch contains the story of the person along with his identity.
Life has been progressing for a long time with the digital world tools that have become the center of our lives during the pandemic period. The nutrition source of education, social, cultural and business life is now phones, screens, e-mails, video meetings. We are meeting in some way with our communities in all areas, but are we really meeting? Despite all the advantages of the digital world that eliminates distances, our greatest longing is the privilege of being physically present and sharing in the same environment. Do we really touch, do we touch life?
The 15th competition concept of EİB, which has been organizing Fashion Design Competitions for 16 years, in order to create an awareness platform by giving the young designers of our country the opportunity to show themselves and to contribute to the development of the Turkish Fashion Industry with the new values it offers to the sector, brings these questions to the agenda.
CONTACT-LESS / Contactless!
Contact-less presents the concept of the reality of digital contact, which can be established with billions of people through physical contact and technology, as a new playground for fashion designers this year.
Environments that will be simulated with technologies that will make people experience the concept of mixed reality by adding touch to visual and audio reality, Avatars that will be our new digital identities, the rise of bio-materials and the formation of the biophilic design world, the transformation of the concept of sustainability from a concept into a vital necessity, business world, wealth, prosperity, demolishing the values of success, politics and economy, and reinterpreting the concept of individual satisfaction and pleasure… A completely different world awaits us.
