Join us at our live, hands-on event exploring how tech is shaping fashion creativity, with our panel discussion, workshop and networking.

Join The Fashion Law Edit at Samsung KX for the next edition of our fashion technolgy event series 'Fashion Futures' — an evening exploring the rapidly evolving relationship between fashion, artificial intelligence, intellectual property and digital innovation.

From AI-generated designs and digital fashion to personalised shopping experiences and the emerging concept of the digital wardrobe, technology is transforming almost every stage of the fashion ecosystem. But with these opportunities come important questions: Who owns AI-generated work? What happens to creativity when technology becomes part of the design process? How should brands navigate the commercial and legal risks? And what might the future of fashion look like when our wardrobes become increasingly digital?

Through an engaging panel discussion, we’ll bring together perspectives from product design, strategy, entrepreneurship and law to explore the opportunities, challenges and unanswered questions surrounding AI in fashion.

But this isn't just an event where you'll sit and listen.

The evening will also feature an interactive workshop, giving attendees the opportunity to work through a real-world fashion and AI scenario and consider the creative, commercial and legal decisions that arise when technology enters the fashion ecosystem.

Whether you work in fashion, law, technology, design, business or simply have an interest in where the industry is heading, this event will give you the opportunity to learn, question and participate in the conversation shaping fashion's future.

Panellists:

Mabintou Kolley

Mabintou Kolley is the founder of Seekrs, the luxury fashion sourcing platform building infrastructure for the global sourcing market. A senior product designer with a background spanning cybersecurity and consumer tech, she has shipped work for Adidas and Google’s global Pixel campaign and co-founded the Forbes-featured agency Clamp Digital. She has judged D&AD New Blood and spoken at Cambridge, Imperial, and Soho House.

Mary Ariyo

Mary Ariyo is the founder, writer and strategic operator behind Strategy and Silks, a publication and advisory practice that helps founders and funds navigate platform shifts and the complexity surrounding emerging technologies such as AI and quantum computing.

First conceptualised in 2014 and formally launched in 2020, Strategy and Silks draws on Mary’s experience in equity research sales at Sanford C. Bernstein, strategic operations across Apple’s EMEA and wider international markets, and working with scale-ups. Through the practice, she helps organisations build strong operational foundations, craft compelling investor narratives, and develop and validate market strategies.

Luxury goods and fashion also sit close to Mary’s heart and have played an important role in shaping her strategic thinking. Her earliest entrepreneurial concepts were developed within the industry: FinPurch, a financing platform designed to help aspirational consumers purchase high-ticket luxury goods, conceived in 2016; and AtiSilks, a vintage luxury curation platform created in 2020 to encourage younger consumers to buy vintage first.

Mary continues to explore ideas at the intersection of technology, consumer behaviour, culture and business through the Strategy and Silks Innovation Lab.
