Kornit to show express fashion capabilities at NY Fashion Week
The firm will be displaying on-demand, environmentally conscious textile printing with minimal infrastructure requirements.
Kornit Digital announced that during this year’s New York Fashion Week and Textile Month, it will co-host a symposium with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) to discuss how digital printing is becoming an enabling technology for the fashion industry’s transition to ultrafast on-demand fabric and garment decoration.
The company also announced that collections designed by students of the Academy of Art University of San Francisco, using the Allegro roll-to-roll printer, will be showcased at a separate event on September 9th at NYFW: Skylight Clarkson Square, Gallery I.
A special collection printed on the Kornit Allegro will be presented in a fashion show (by invitation only), dedicated to the designs of nine graduate collections from the Academy.
As part of the Textile Month’s program, conceived by trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort, a special “Express Fashion” event will be co-hosted by FIT and Kornit on September 13th. The event, by invitation only, will take place at FIT’s campus located at 227 W 27th St. New York.
Visitors interested in digital printing as an eco-friendly and profitable solution will be able to view a display of recent, attention-grabbing digital collections.
Included in the program are talks by Kornit’s CEO Gabi Seligsohn, who will discuss how the company is taking advantage of the revolution in apparel shopping habits and the supply chain changes taking place as a result.
Omer Kulka, Kornit’s VP of marketing and product strategy, will deliver a talk on the boom of online business in the fashion industry.
