Technology does not suppress creativity.

Today, Muchaneta Kapfunde talked about the role of technology in creative businesses to UAL, Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and Central School of Speech and Drama (CSSD) students.

With creative jobs on the rise, technology is already playing an essential part in today’s creative economy.

With more ways than ever before to tell stories, share experiences and explore cultures in an authentic, engaging and relevant way, it is great to see creativity and technology working well together.

As innovation continues to enhance specific areas of the creative process by presenting a new platform for creativity to exist, technology is improving the ability for creative people to market themselves.

Through the advancement of technology, people from all walks of life can not only exhibit their considerable talents, their ideas (which may have once existed within our minds) can now be set free and come to life in the physical world.

Thank you, UAL: University of the Arts London, RNCM - Royal Northern College of Musicand Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, for having Muchaneta today and Beki Gowing, Zoë Tynan-Campbell (She/Her), Ava Podgorski and Tessa Read for thinking of her.

Lastly, thank you, Camille Aubry for this excellent LIVE illustration sprinkled with Muchaneta’s soundbites.

What is the purpose of a fashion show?

According to a McKinsey report the fashion industry represents over $2.5 trillion dollars, and the idea that technology is challenging the industry to think differently is definitely a brilliant thing.

So yes, fashion shows can make a difference because they still serve as a launchpad for some of fashion’s biggest talents. Although quite repetitive they are not disposable, because they create a deeper bond between a brand and its audience. The lesson here is that the fashion runway needs to evolve or it will risk losing their relevance

Hannah Eichler of and I not only discuss the relevance of the runway, but we also talk about the opportunities that the merger brings to the table when it comes to fashion businesses and education, and the challenges that those who adopt technology are most likely going to face.
