It need to emphasize aesthetics in quality and diverse expressions and need to be presented in a setting that is aligned with the style.</p> <p>As a fashion film, displaying a digital design concept that may not even exist as a physical item, the format needs to be adapted. We argue that it needs a story that accommodates digital fashion design both to drive the narrative and present itself as a fashion garment. It needs to orient to fashion style, while balancing between the intended fashion audience and technology user groups.</p>
