CPHFW Official Talk Program: Fashion and Technology

The official SS27 Talk Program, supported by Mercedes Benz, is a vital part of the Copenhagen Fashion Week schedule, exploring the ideas, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of fashion.

Copenhagen Fashion Week will bring the SS27 Talk Program to a live audience, with a dedicated session taking place each day at the Copenhagen Fashion Week Talk Hub, hosted in the Mercedes-Benz Showroom in the heart of the city.

The Talk Program is open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Each session will feature a 30-minute panel discussion followed by a 15-minute Q&A. Drawing on Copenhagen Fashion Week’s global network, the program will bring together industry leaders from across a range of organisations and disciplines to share insights and perspectives on the topics shaping fashion today.

Panelists:

Filipe Mulonde — GPU Modelling Engineer

Filipe Mulonde is an Angolan GPU modelling engineer with a background in software engineering and artificial intelligence. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering and a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence. He also spent a year conducting scientific research at ETH Zurich, one of the world’s leading computer science institutions. Filipe currently works at Arm Holdings, a world-leading technology company shaping the future of AI compute. His work contributes to technologies used by billions of people, helping power everyday digital experiences. Beyond engineering, he is passionate about fashion, dance, education, and exploring the intersection of fashion, technology, and AI.

Graysha Audren — Founder & CEO, Weffan 

Graysha Audren is a textile engineer and 3D weaving pioneer. She founded Weffan in 2020 on a simple conviction: that waste is a design flaw, not an inevitability. With over six years of experience developing 3D weaving technology, she industrialised the world’s first 3D-woven tailored suit, which was launched globally by Balenciaga for its SS26 collection. Today, she leads textile engineering and manufacturing at Weffan, reframing how garments can be made by engineering out waste at the point of creation rather than managing it after the fact.

Iris Skrami — Co-Founder & CEO, Renoon

Iris Skrami is the Co-Founder and CEO of Renoon, where she builds the infrastructure for Digital Product Passports using AI. Her earlier work at Nike and PVH placed her inside the machinery of global supply chains and consumer decision-making, giving her a clear view of how information moves and where it breaks. Those gaps became the foundation for Renoon, designed to give products a digital identity that persists beyond their first sale. She was recognised by Forbes Under 30 for her contribution to the intersection of technology, traceability, and fashion. Today, Iris focuses on shaping an industry where every product carries its own record, accessible, enduring, and accountable.

Tina Wetshi — Global Head of Events, Nothing 

Tina Wetshi is Global Head of Events at Nothing. She joined Nothing from Dazed, where she produced events across fashion, lifestyle and culture. Previously, Tina worked in fashion PR, both agency side and inhouse, with brands including Bottega Veneta and Karla Otto. Alongside her role at Nothing, she co-founded Colèchi, a platform and collective exploring sustainability and systems change in fashion, creating spaces for people to learn, collaborate and reimagine the relationship between fashion, people and nature.
