Innovation Meets Tradition:
Highlights from the Digital Couture Summit MFW FW’24-25
In the heart of Milan, amidst the flurry of Fashion Week, the Digital Couture Summit created a unique intersection where tradition met innovation, and luxury embraced the digital realm. The exclusive event, limited to 300 hand-picked attendees, showcased a blend of high fashion and the latest innovations in traditional luxury, fashion, and beauty digitalization at Lynk&Co’s central Milan venue.
Digital Couture Summit returned for the second year, led by fashion luminary Nikki Cikaluk and sustainable design pioneer Olska Green; it bridged the gap between esteemed luxury houses like D&G, Valentino, and Hugo Boss and the avant-garde digital couture world. The event showcased a fully immersive experience of digital expertise, featuring debuts from digital fashion vanguards SEAMM and CHIPPED. The original production of a phygital runway show by Ecoolska & Isadoska, who presented their digital and physical sustainable collections, capped the event.
