NEXT GEN Project
The Next Gen Project was launched as a means to mentor design students in crafting innovative Adaptive apparel in partnership with Runway of Dreams.
Our Inaugural Next Gen Class was featured during the 2024 Fashion Revolution Grand Finale at New York Fashion Week (NYFW). This event provided a platform for these emerging innovators to showcase their Adaptive fashions on a runway before a distinguished audience of Fashion's top executives and editors.
