Commissioned by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s promotional agency London & Partners, Roberts has brought together all forms of fashion tech from 3D printing and responsive fabrics to the world’s first holographic intelligent mannequin.
Roberts, a Hackney-based former NHS radiographer, transforms digital medical scans into knitwear using cutting-edge programming and industrial knitting technology and has gathered together the most creative and disruptive technological fashion brands to showcase in the first of over 300 events that will be taking place across the capital.
“From fashion start-ups, 3D printing and social media, to improving in-store customer experience, brands in London have been leading the way in how to incorporate the latest tech advances into their fashion message,” Roberts said.
