Ulanbator, Mongolia – The Goethe Institute and Alliance Frances brought Anina Net to Mongolia to teach 15 fashion designers to create fashion technology. The workshop took place across 5 days of intense work, where Anina Net taught “Electronics Integration and Design Thinking”. The participants created modern garments using upcycling and the LED Ribbon to add lighting patterns to their creations. They thought through where to place the controller, how to protect the electronics and most importantly, what to make and who to make it for!
Young Designers Learn Electronics Integration in the Workshop
Anina Net lead the young designers through the design thinking and helped them refine their projects so that they could be manufacturable and turned into real products. Reinforcing, creating channels, materials for light reflection, and concept all were under review both from 360Fashion Network’s side and from the Fashion Design Professors from the top Mongolian design schools who also participated in the workshop.
Anina Net was interviewed for Mongolian National Television discussing the opportunity for emerging countries to educate their workforce to capture jobs for the future of fashion.
“Mongolia has the opportunity to create the next jobs in the fashion industry by creating programs to educate designers to know how to integrate electronics. Fashion technologists are going to be needed to help brands create new products with technology inside.” Told Anina Net

The results from the workshop will be posted on 360Fashion Network in a dedicated page so remember to sign up for our newsletter and be notified. Finished garments were photographed and interviews made from the participants.
360Fashion Network workshops are producing outstanding results and Anina Net once again forges new ground where others do not tread. See the review on the Goethe Institute’s website here.
