Pushing what’s possible at intersection of fashion and tech: SYKY Apple Vision Pro reality move — Retail Technology Innovation Hub

Within the SYKY universe, glowing archways are portals into custom built designer spaces. The debut showcase presents Anrealage and its founder, Kunihiko Morinaga.

The Japanese label has created an exclusive centrepiece, The Pyramid Dress, a structural, colour changing piece inspired by a bespoke Anrealage gown worn by Beyoncé on her Renaissance tour, and designs from the label’s HOME collection for the launch.

The experience has been designed to empower discovery, with the hand-and-eye-tracking of Apple Vision Pro unfolding storytelling moments at every touchpoint.

Visitors can step up close to The Pyramid Dress, move around it, and uncover points of interaction to learn more about the design, fabrics, and creative processes that have gone into making it.

They are also invited to go behind the scenes with Morinaga-san to hear more about his craft, the collaboration, and the future of fashion in his own words.

“Fashion shows, which once required extensive travel and the experience of purchasing clothes from stores, can now be accessed simply by putting on a device in your own room. All the constraints of reality are removed allowing one to freely experience the extraordinariness of fashion from their own room or daily life,” says Morinaga.

“I’m incredibly honoured to work with SYKY on the debut launch of their Apple Vision Pro experience and am excited to offer consumers a new and novel way to interact with my designs whenever and wherever.”

For Morinaga, who creates in 3D before bringing designs to life as physical pieces, crafting The Pyramid Dress for SYKY was a new experience; freed from the restraints of real-world processes, he says that he was able to work fluidly with myriad textures, fabrics and forms, which brought The Pyramid Dress to life naturally.

The piece further explores the designer’s concept of garments as billowing structures that become their own spaces, which people can inhabit.

SYKY’s collaboration with Anrealage on Apple Vision Pro marks the platform’s first steps into spatial computing.

Following the debut showcase, SYKY will produce further curated works with the world’s leading fashion houses. Visitors will be able to enter digital extensions of ateliers, design spaces, fashion presentations or new retail environments to examine custom designed garments.
