First Steps for Fashion Designers | Unreal Fest Stockholm 2025

The amount of work you can accomplish as an individual with a fashion brand or digital fashion aspirations is immense—and more accessible than ever. As a digital fashion designer, whether established or aspiring, you don’t have to rely on large teams or expensive tools to tell the full story behind your designs.

In this beginner-friendly session recorded at Unreal Fest Stockholm, Zoe Anna Vanezis of Central Saint Martins college explores how Unreal Engine (and other free, easily available tools) can empower you to take your digitized garments and create rich, immersive narratives around them.

All the ideas that go into your design—story, context, emotion—can be fully visualized and brought to life. Find out how simple it is to bring your fashion looks into dynamic environments on MetaHumans animated with motion capture, and ultimately showcase your work in ways that once seemed out of reach.

Whether you’re a student, educator, or industry professional, you’ll come away with a clear understanding of how to take control of your creative process and push the future of your fashion journey forward. If you can design it, you can build a world around it. Watch to see how easy—and exciting—it can be to get started.
