Technology and Fashion are Connecting

Wearable Technology battles constantly with esthetics.  I hear and read a lot of the same "For the fashion-conscious, wearable gadgets are currently not wearable". How we can make wearable technology pieces more than unbelievable tech garments and turn them into beautiful and fashionable. There is no doubt that fashion is esthetics and functionality. Cloth is designed to be desired and to be worn, not to be admired for its capabilities. Cloth is a powerful channel of communication. It can tell who you are in multiple ways. Now, the question is: Do you want to be a Robot? If you are “Fashion sensible” the answer is pretty easy: NO!!
Things are changing. After years and years where Fashion and Technology considered each other opposites, today it can be said that they are taking each other more seriously. The creators of wearable technology are quickly learning the importance of being appealing and the fashion world is learning the language of technology. There isn’t a surprise giant tech. companies are hiring fashion designers. Among the ones that have already got in contact with fashion designers and are including them into their latest Tech products are Google, Apple, and Samsung.


These are great examples of exposing wires with a pretty sense of Fashion from Mika Satomi and Kobakant during a workshop.
