Design Wolf Mill Week 2022–23
The ‘Design Wolf Mill Week’ (DWMW) kicks off on 11th & 12th of February 2022 at the FAD Museum in Bangalore. This event is in collaboration with digital platform Sowtex.
DWMW will feature an array of virtual and physical shows, an immersive metaverse fashion show, digital screenings, exhibitions, panel discussions and workshops.
Organizers of the event describe it as a humble attempt to create a milieu that in some ways echoes Coco Chanel’s 31 Rue Cambon apartment atelier.
Set aptly in the industrial hub of Bangalore city, the Tuka Center and Design Wolf product development are supported by 350 odd factories in the vicinity.
The Fashion Architecture Design (FAD) Museum hosts state of the art immersive technology that engages the buyers and designers equally with jazz-like improvisational engagement. The goal is to create space for creativity and innovation just like an impromptu jazz gig.
Buyers and designers that work independently & with brands will be engaging in conversations with the Mills to co-create the new AW 22/23 outlook for the season. This is made possible with new colours and print directions forecasted by the Design Wolf Studio, based on which the Tuka 3D studio will showcase prototypes digitally.

In essence, the DWMW aims to aid designers to visualize trends without making a single physical sample using the immersive technology and trend forecasting SAAS tool called Bespoken.

The Pretotyping Manifesto by Alberto Savoia, Google’s Innovation Agitator and Engineering Director, has paved way to innovation for new startups. These concepts have been adapted by the Design Wolf Studio for the fashion industry.
Topics that are sure to fire the creative neurons of fashion business enthusiasts include the future of 3D and digital fashion; an exploration of where we are now and what the future might hold for digital fashion and a look into the growing presence of NFTs in this industry.
Visitors may attend the Mill Presentations in three time slots on RSVP and may schedule one-on-one sessions with the Mills.
The Fashion Architecture Design (FAD) Museum also hosts the opportunity to take a “Walk Your Style Tour” and play a live super-forecasting ‘phygital’ contest. RSVP here : https://hi.switchy.io/FAD_WALK_YOUR_STYLE
The result of this contest will be two-fold : fashion business associates will get to test their trend forecasting skills to be the top ten trend forecasters of AW 22/23 and on the other hand will understand trend insights and data points to make more informed buying decisions the coming season.
The Design Wolf Mill Week will be hosted in partnership with Sowtex, the online B2B Marketspace that connects small and medium enterprises in the textile industry with global and local buyers.
