Global leaders across manufacturing, AI, XR, gaming, and immersive retail convene in Taipei to showcase how technology is reshaping the future of fashion.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, March 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As fashion, gaming and artificial intelligence rapidly converge, Digital Fashion Week x DigiFashion Forum launches in Taipei on April 17–18, 2026, convening global leaders across XR, gaming, AI, and fashion retail to explore how immersive technologies are reshaping the future of commerce.

Hosted in Taipei — one of Asia’s most dynamic technology ecosystems — the event signals a broader industry shift: digital fashion is moving beyond niche experimentation and into scalable retail infrastructure.

“Digital Fashion Week in Taipei is not just a conference,” said Clare Tattersall, Founder of Digital Fashion Week. “It is a live prototype of where fashion retail is heading — immersive, interoperable and community-driven. Asia is building this future differently, with gaming culture and real-time environments at its core.”

“Our sessions cover agentic AI systems that autonomously optimize design and material choices, also digital twins that eliminate physical sampling, coupled with predictive analytics, and blockchain supply chain transparency.” says Ching-Hua Lin, Founder of DigiFashion Forum, “Participants gain practical insights for implementing scalable technologies that deliver operational efficiency and measurable sustainability impact. Taiwan is a global leader in Innovation”
