The innovations taking place at the intersection of fashion, product design and technology are profoundly amazing and transformative. Like any other creative industry, the long-term trends in fashion and product design are often driven by advancements in technology. In many respects, these industries today bear little resemblance to that of a decade ago – and will change even more in the decade ahead. The days of materials as a strictly static resource are coming to a close – the days of materials as an active (and interactive) resource are just beginning. New materials and techniques merge with the old, and new needs drive innovation. Which of today’s trends are driving the world of tomorrow?
Join us as we explore the high-tech fashion of the future – from social consciousness to smart textiles to information technology directly within the clothing we wear. Listen to industry leaders and pioneers in these fields at the seminar in connection to the Goethe-Institut regional IKAT/eCUT project at NOW26 (Siam Square) on August 6.
