The WEAREABLE awards ceremony took place last night at the Gaîté Lyrique in front of more than 500 people from the world of fashion, retail and innovation.

The aim of the event was to unite the whole eco-system of FashionTech around a unifying subject, spreading the word that innovation has no limits in the fashion industry – whether this be in producing, distributing or consuming fashion.

Chaired by Ms. Diane Pernet and presented by Gilles Rosier, the ceremony showcased 5 projects from around the world.
