Be among the first to get a VIP sneak peek and support the grand opening of the new FABRIC Phygital Fashion Campus.
FABRIC, Tempe’s Fashion and Business Resource Innovation Center, is upgrading into a new technology campus in March 2023. This newly-renovated, premium, facility will provide a fitting environment for FABRIC to expand its model to unite the industry in creating the first Phygital Fashion Innovation Center in the U.S.
Join us for this VIP event as we unveil a facility that is ideally suited for digital design and high-tech manufacturing. This newly renovated, ultra-modern, window-clad facility is the perfect showcase for innovative micro-factory technology consisting of a physical design and manufacturing floor as well as a digital design floor to create one of the nation’s first physical-to-digital fashion incubators and micro-factory that supports brands of any size. This pioneering endeavor aims to provide everything an apparel entrepreneur or brand needs to make and sell their products physically and digitally using the latest software and equipment.
FABRIC Tempe’s Phygital Innovation Center will provide the fashion industry a place to gather, test, collaborate, share, educate, and innovate new ways to create and sell fashion. As the perfect place for an industry shift proof of concept, this new facility will continue to establish FABRIC as a fashion technology trendsetter and leader in moving the needle toward a sustainable future for our industry.
To celebrate the move, unite industry leaders, and secure partners, FABRIC’s VIP Grand Opening Moving The Needle event will showcase some of the latest technology in action. Sewn products will be designed and made in real time both virtually and physically as attendees experience the work of dozens of designers and brands who call FABRIC home in unexpected ways.
Note: Arrive at the original FABRIC facility at 5pm promptly and follow the designer/model trail to the new phygital fashion campus on foot
