There are a lot of posts out there looking back at different aspects of SXSW. On the fashion front, Rachel Arthur tries to pull out some trends in a guest point on The Business of Fashion.

She highlights the rise of 3D printing; the calls for greater contribution between disciplines citing panels from Lego, PepsiCo, and Frito-Lay; and probably the most interesting point for me, the move away from a focus on newly-created mobile apps to discussions around hardware (such as Google’s talking shoe).

Part of the beauty of SXSW is, of course, meeting up with digitally-minded people from across the sector. But, without doubt, the most powerful insights are gleaned by stepping outside the fashion bubble and learning from other industries. The challenge is being able to distill down the key takeaways.

It’s your final night of SXSW and we really mean it this time, so Interactive badge holders can stop grumbling that it finished Tuesday (because it doesn’t). So a bit more flavour of the fun on offer at SXSW before we head out to Sixth for one last bag of memories

SXSW is all about worlds colliding, so when there’s a Turkish night of music at Cedar Street Courtyard, with a number of bands from one of my other lives (the Eurovision Song Contest), I’m going to talk to two bands more used to stadium rock than tiny gigs… and introduce my SXSW friends and followers to them!

A full night of music last night, with a smattering of film, and panels about online distribution, marketing, and technology in the room. Yep, it’s still SXSW!
