Summon The Council for: Rethinking How We Discover Local Fashion w. Beaucoup Data
How do people discover local fashion when trends feel manufactured and algorithms keep serving more of the same?
In the eyes of Beaucoup Data co-founder, Gregory Belhumeur, fashion discovery is broken because the systems deciding what gets seen no longer serve culture at the local level.
In this Summon The Council session, ZERO*NDA invites fashion designers, brand operators, and builders into a rare moment:
Shaping the earliest formation of a new idea — a fashion discovery platform focused on local designers.
This is not a product launch.
This is a live sense-making workshop.
Gregory will introduce the core curiosity and use the room to explore questions like:
• How might human taste and curation coexist with algorithms?
• What signals actually matter before anything gets built?
• What feels missing today that “doesn’t exist yet”?
• Where do current discovery platforms fall flat?
Rather than pitching a polished project, this session invites informed challenge and constructive tension.
Participants will bring perspectives from:
Fashion design (TBD)
Cultural curation (TBD)
Digital product / Platform design (TBD)
Community-led marketplaces (TBD)
AI recommendation systems (TBD)
The goal is to surface blind spots early, before momentum locks in the wrong answers. This is building in public in its truest form:
Sharp minds. Real questions. No hidden agenda.
Just honest curiosity, shaping culture, in the open.
