How Gen Z is influencing the fashion scene?

The world is changing a lot and so is fashion. Today and tomorrow’s customers are two generations hard to ignore : Millennials & Gen Z. They are the first generations growing up in the digital age, with Gen Z’ers being the first true digital natives. Though there’s a huge differences between the 2 generations, they have for sure disrupted and changed the way we perceive beauty and how we define fashion.

MAD loves giving a platform to young talent and would like to know what drives this generation. How do they perceive fashion and how do they stand out? What do they find important ? And do they walk their talk ? With so many online opinions flying around, it is time to host a conference on how a generation is taking over and how they are influencing the fashion scene.

During the talk three generations will discuss aesthetic mutations, from crocs and low-rise jeans to the return of the crop top. Generation Z is disrupting fashion, from self-expression and plural identities to cultural reappropriation in the era of the metaverse. Join us.
