Nowadays, the digital environment is rapidly developing and the latest digital technologies are being used in various business areas, including the fashion industry. Blockchain technology and fashion - what can these two seemingly incompatible concepts have in common? This season on Riga Fashion Week we invited the founders of Fashion Coin from Ukraine, who will talk about the idea of using blockchain technology in the fashion industry.
