Fire-up your browser and get ready! On June 10 to 11, 2020, Global Talents Digital will present the world’s first hybrid international online fashion project, which will combine real designer collections along with the digital ones. Virtual and human models will present new fashion collections. Virtual Instagram celebrities will deliver their personal digital collections. 50 participants from 20 countries will show their collections and works in an unconventional format of video presentations, some of them using AR technology and digital avatars. Fashion will be complemented by animated visual art: 3D artists will create some digital works specially for Global Talents Digital. For two days all the streams can be followed at social networks and over 100 websites throughout the world.

Augmented Reality (AR) will become a part of the live stream: using smartphones, viewers will be able to move fashion looks to private bedrooms, for example. A digital artistic team from ЯZAT in collaboration with graphic designers Bayat Akerov, Viktoria Kobelkova, The Digital Mary, have made some digital versions of participating designers’ collections, which will be also available in AR.

“Global Talents Digital is an online version of the Global Talents project, launched by Russian Fashion Council to support cutting-edge brands throughout the world. Dozens of fashion talents from 10 countries debuted their catwalk collections at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia in past seasons. The key feature of the new project is that it will bring together real and totally digital collections. Besides, Global Talents Digital lies beyond classic fashion seasons and covers many countries both thanks to the participants and the live streams: from the South Africa to Japan, from the USA to Australia. And the connection point is Moscow, Russia, where most of the Vol. 1 participants come from. We have been systematically supporting and promoting emerging talents for many years. The global lockdown situation prompted us to look for some new formats, and Global Talents Digital in June 2020 is going to be one of our experiments. It is a contribution to a vibrating world fashion scene, full of the great talents”, said Alexander Shumsky, President of Russian Fashion Council and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.

The list of participants includes the Peru-based brand ANNAISS YUCRA, which prepared a collaboration with a virtual model Ivaany from France. Another collaboration on the online event’s schedule is the joint presentation by the Be.Li.Ve. brand and Australian digital models from the Klubb Visuals Agency, Candice Klubb and Bambi. Kim Zulu, a virtual model from the South Africa (RSA), is going to deliver her debut personal digital collection.
