Inside Knovus: Technology-Driven Ethical Manufacturing | Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2025

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the future of ethical knitwear and digital fashion education.

As part of Ethical Clothing Australia Week, this Open Studio event will take you inside Knovus HQ to explore the possibilities of 3D knit technology and its role in reshaping sustainable garment production. You’ll get an up-close look at our Shima Seiki machinery, view existing knitwear samples, and discover how on-demand, local manufacturing can support a more transparent, ethical supply chain.

This event also offers a first look at KNOLab — our new online learning platform designed to empower designers, educators, and brands with industry-relevant training in knitwear technology and sustainable production. KNOLab supports ongoing learning with modular, flexible content that complements hands-on studio practice.

🎁 VIP Bonus: Attendees will receive exclusive early access to our upcoming “Make Your Own Jumper” experience — a guided KNOLab x Knovus program where you'll design, program, and knit your very own custom jumper using 3D knit tech.

Whether you’re looking to upskill, collaborate, or innovate, this event is your entry point into the future of ethical, tech-driven fashion.
