Digital fabrics are the virtual equivalent of real fabrics. When digitally rendered on a computer under different lighting and environmental conditions they behave exactly as a real fabric does in the real world.
Bandicoot provides 3 products to customers :
Shimmer Scan: Our key product that allows customers to upload photos of their fabric to our cloud servers for processing into texture files. These texture files are in industry standard format and can be downloaded and imported into 3rd party 3D design software (e.g. Adobe Substance, CLO3D, Browzwear).
Shimmer View: Uses the PBR texture files output from Shimmer Scan and allows customers to display interactive images of fabrics online. Shimmer Views differ from a traditional static image by conveying not just the colour of a fabric, but also giving a deep sense of the texture along with a true sense of how a fabric behaves under light. We also provide a set of high-quality, high-resolution static 'hero' images of fabrics, rendered out from the same set PBR textures files output from Shimmer Scan. The resulting images are delivered in a standard format that can easily be used to create stunning marketing brochures and presentations.
Shimmer Tile: Ensures that digitised fabrics are 3D ready for import into all leading 3D design platforms. It provides high quality, seamless tiling of a digital fabric swatch.

Improved resources, planning, and a best practice approach have established FJFW as a premier event on Fiji’s social calendar. It has also launched the careers for many aspiring fashion designers and models.
It is the key driver in the establishment of small to medium business enterprises, introduced new fashion related businesses, created fashion associated employment opportunities not previously known in Fiji. FJFW has had a positive and direct effect on the development of an interactive Fashion industry.
The industry development
We also provided the IP and platform and assisted in the introduction of Fashion Weeks firstly in Port Moresby, the Solomon Islands and Samoa. It is also the platform from which Pacific diaspora have launched independent satellite shows mainly in the UK, Australia, NZ and USA.
Selected Designers from USA, Europe, India, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific have all participated in FJFW alongside our own local designers since 2008, Likewise Fijian Designers have also participated in fashion weeks across the globe.
The Recognitions
FJFW is recognised as a “Founding Member” of the inaugural Commonwealth Fashion Council based in London. Ellen Whippy-Knight attended the launch of the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange held in Buckingham Palace in February 2018.
Ellen was also responsible for creating the Fashion Council of Fiji on which she served as a Vice President and Committee Member. She also created the Fijian Fashion Foundation as a platform to raise funds to send Fiji students to Australia to study Fashion and Design. In May 2017, the Fashion Council of Fiji presented her with a Special Achievement Award at FJFW’s 10th year anniversary.
The Fashion and Design Education
FJFW is proud of its role in the development of Fashion and Design education in Fiji. We have a major focus on Fashion education due to the lack of a central Design facility in Fiji. Therefore we invited Fashion educators from the UK, Australia and New Zealand who attend to run a series of Fashion and Design workshops. We have also sent Fijian Designers to attend short courses in Australia. A Fijian emerging designer Laisiasa Davetawalu is currently in his 3rd and final year of a Bachelor of Fashion and Design in Sydney. He is sponsored by the Fijian Fashion Foundation.

Artist, Designer and Educator, Claudia Williams divides her time between educating and creating with recyclables.
Her studio process explores the use of recycled materials and pushing the boundaries with these mediums. The use of traditional craft methodologies within her works and her teachings helps to give her audience a new perspective of creating with recyclables and its value as a medium, not just a waste item.
The creation of one-off unique garments for editorials, musicians, film, model portfolios and her wearable art hire line are always on the go in her Brisbane based studio.
"As artists and designers, we create to inspire, social and environmental issues go hand when creating. It's a platform to voice, explore, play and discover.
For me, its about challenging people’s perception of art, fashion and recycling, while adding value and the wow factor to a reused medium”
