Fashion Futurist
My name is Amanda Cosco, and I'm passionate about fashion innovation
As a journalist covering the intersection of fashion and technology, I've interviewed a 🤖 and poured 🍻 with my brainwaves (it’s a tough job but someone has to do it). I research and report on how technology is transforming the $2.4 trillion global fashion industry. Some call me a fashion futurist, but you can call me Amanda 👋
Follow me on Twitter and Instagram as I bring you to the front lines of fashion all over the world—from runway shows in New York to garment factories in Bangladesh. Tune into to my podcast, where I interview innovators from Sri Lanka to Silicon Valley to find out how they're disrupting apparel, retail, manufacturing, and consumer products. I also create YouTube videos about my adventures and obsession with lifestyle tech.
I would ❤️ to share my experience and global perspective with you.
