• Jasna Rok Lab is an award-winning studio, combining innovative fashion and cutting-edge technology whose work focuses on the physiology of feelings.

• Ganit Goldstein is a fashion designer and smart textile researcher specializing in the development of 3D printed fashion. Ganit’s design was inspired by the textures in nature found across the four seasons—from crisp autumn leaves to soft spring flowers. She successfully simulates the way natural light plays with these elements, providing extra layers of depth in her jacket designs. The “GnoMon” collection represents a novel approach to textile customization and rethinks what constitutes a trend and what qualifies as timeless in the framework of fashion seasons.
