Digital Fashion Archive (XXII STUDIO LTD)
The Digital Fashion Archive, operated by XXII Studio Ltd, is focused on the digitisation and archival of fashion designs of historical and cultural significance. We utilise various 3D modelling and data capture techniques, and aim to preserve these designs in a virtual format, thereby mitigating the risk of them becoming inaccessible. Our work lies at the intersection of fashion, technology, and education, with the goal of making these archives a global resource for various stakeholders.
