The displayed pieces showcase all kinds of innovative designs from chic wearables to 3D-printed garments and beyond. Hosted at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery in NYC, the Coded Couture exhibition was created by Ginger Greff Duggan and Judith Hoos Fox. Moved by [generative textile prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textile-production), statuesque kicks, and wearables, the team sourced designers who use coding during their design process. The show features such technology couture as Melissa Coleman's lie-detecting dress and Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz's garment that changes color based on social media feedback. In time for [New York Fashion Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-week-fall-2024), Coded Couture will open on February 12th, 2016 and will run until April 30th, 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Technology Couture:** The merging of fashion and technology presents disruptive innovation opportunities for designers to create unique apparel with integrated technology. - **Generative Textile Prints:** The use of generative textile prints offers disruptive innovation opportunities for designers to create customizable, one-of-a-kind apparel pieces. - **Social Media-influenced Apparel:** Incorporating social media feedback into apparel designs presents disruptive innovation opportunities for designers to create interactive clothing pieces that change based on real-time engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage technology couture and generative textile prints to create innovative and customizable apparel pieces. - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore opportunities to create new wearable technologies that integrate with fashion, leading to a new category of connected apparel. - **Marketing:** The marketing industry can leverage social media-influenced apparel to create interactive experiences that engage with consumers in real-time and drive brand awareness and engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive 3D Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portalm-x-virtual-fashion-exhibition.md) - [Web3 Fashion Show Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinventing-the-runway.md) - [AI Virtual Fitting Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-fitting-room.md) - [Textile Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regeneration-fashion-from-the-ground-up.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Major High Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/from-the-heart-to-the-hands.md) - [Innovative Textile Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textile-production.md)
