The Gerber Technology 2018 Student Design Competition
The future is now! Gerber Technology is excited to present the ideation 2018 Student FashionTech Competition.
For 2018, we continue the emphasis on combining fashion and technology, incorporating a favorite parameter from previous years: thePantone Color of the Year!
For ideation 2018, students pursuing a degree in Fashion are called upon to incorporate technology as the main focus of the design and development process. This can encompass a wide array of ideas and processes: tailor a suit using Kevlar, convert the human heartbeat into wearable data, transform architecture into artwear, use virtual reality design techniques to visualize concepts in 3D. Technology must be incorporated as a major component of the design/development process.
Students must be currently enrolled part- or full- time in a fashion design program at an institution of higher learning. For more information, see the attached prospectus, or email [email protected] for more details.
Happy Designing!

Is this exclusive to Apparel Design?
Good question, Lisa! While the guidelines dictate that students should be enrolled in a fashion design program, and the competition culminates in a fashion show at ideation, we have always been open to other possibilities.
