Compete to develop new services that make fashion fun! Participants wanted for "THE FASHION HACK TOKYO"
THE FASHION HACK Executive Committee (Hearst Fujingaho, Kodansha, Shueisha, Shogakukan) will hold "THE FASHION HACK TOKYO," a fashion-themed hackathon, on August 29 and 30 at Google Inc. in Roppongi, Tokyo. This marks the first hackathon organized by the four publishing companies. Magazine readers, fashion, technology, and media professionals will exchange ideas and explore the future of fashion and technology. Participants are currently being recruited (until August 17).
A hackathon is an event where engineers, designers, planners, and others compete to develop new services based on a theme within a short timeframe. For "THE FASHION HACK TOKYO," the four organizers will provide limited access to data from 28 fashion magazines and other publications they publish. Participants will compete to develop new services that enhance the enjoyment of fashion by utilizing this data alongside various APIs and devices provided by internet service companies like Google.
Additionally, a campaign will run in conjunction with the hackathon, soliciting ideas via Twitter (#TFHJP) about fashion-related concerns and ways to enjoy magazines.
The night before the hackathon, a collaboration with Andaz Tokyo will host the "Andaz Salon ~ THE FASHION HACK Pre-Party & Ideathon~". This salon is a participatory social event encompassing fashion, music, film, and food, where diverse talents from various fields come together to spark new ideas.
Event details and registration are available on the official website.
