We Ideate Fashion Futurecast Create the future

The acronym “TAFFD’s” stands for Transdisciplinary Agora for Future Discussion. The name was coined by the founder who believes that a single-based approach in understanding reality will lead to ideological supremacy. Hence, they should be an “Agora” (Greek word for Marketplace) where ideas from these multidiscipline are “Transdisciplinarily” “Discussed” and applied for a better “Future,” which starts now.
