Designing tomorrow: is speculative thinking the key to fashion retail's future?

Speculative design is a powerful tool for envisioning and shaping the future at times of broad systemic change. This powerful methodology is used by governments and global companies to navigate long-term risks and opportunities. Is this the way to explore emerging scenarios, during this period of transition that is affecting the fashion industry?

Through a guided activity and interactive session with leading global fashion futurist Geraldine Wharry, participants will be introduced to speculative design thinking – being encouraged to imagine and prepare for potential futures, and think expansively about the future.
