A Glimpse into the Future of Fashion.

As the worlds of fashion, design, art, coding, and technology continue to converge, an exciting new landscape is emerging, giving rise to a new era of creative expression and collaboration.
In this article, we explore the intersection of code-based generative art, physical and digital fashion, and web3 technologies. We examine how this fusion is revolutionizing the creative landscape, enabling untapped potential for collaboration, innovative market mechanisms, hyper-individualization, and collectability.

Generative Art: What Makes It Unique and Why It's Gaining Traction Now
In the world of modern code-based generative art, artists fuse their coding skills with artistic talent to create algorithms defining aesthetic delimiters fuelled by randomness.
More simply: gen artists define a field of aesthetic chance in which artworks can come into existence. The resulting code script can then in principal produce infinite chains of static or animated artworks, all different.

Fueled by new tools, processing power and the rise of web3, the generative art scene is now gaining traction on a worldwide scale. It’s a vivid scene with its own curation sites, magazines, auctions, platforms, and discords. It has a league of its own heroes and stars, such as Tyler Hobbs, who will have his own show in March 2023 in the Unit Gallery in Mayfair, London.
Pioneering galleries and new formats, like Expanded Art and Bright Moments, are embracing this cutting-edge new art form across the globe, as well as flourishing marketplaces where you can buy and trade these artworks like artblocks.io and fxhash.xyz. If you're new to this art form, a great starting point may be Kaloh’s Newsletter or tender.art, which offers a good, chain-agnostic overview with articles, as well as its famous list of iconic works.

The application of generative practices to fashion is not a novel concept; procedurally-based patterns have adorned garments across cultures throughout history. The history of generative art and procedures is sure long enough to dedicate many books to and can only be touched upon at this point. Basically, it encompasses two dimensions: first of all, the development of fashion design options under given design objectives and constraints such as cut specifications. Secondly the appliance of designs and artworks to the fabric, defining everything from look to properties.

However, the groundbreaking aspect lies in the new range of technological possibilities available today. They open up entirely new new creative opportunities for fashion, whether in physical or digital form (augmented and mixed reality applications, 3D animations, virtual environments, or digital collectibles).
