High Tech Meets High Fashion


In January 2012, Fashion Ware participated in a fashion show in Las Vegas, NV during the week of the Consumer Electronics Show. The outfits featured in this show ranged from the futuristic to modern day ensembles. This show truly demonstrated the notion of the influences technology has on the fashion industry.

Models wore notable electronic products produced by companies such as AGloves, iWatch, SONY, Strive, and Body Media. The show featured items such as the “earphone hoodie”, which was a simple jacket equipped with earphones manufactured in the hood. The earphone hoodie has the ability to discretely connect to any listening device!

The explanations announced during the fashion show made the show not only informative but also interesting. Fashion Ware did an extraordinary job with displaying the actual incorporation of fashion and technology. 







AGloves: Retails at $25

Currently, technology and fashion are working hand-in- hand in terms of designing apparel digitally, purchasing merchandise, and viewing the latest fashion trends. Technology has become one of the most reliable mediums used to track the fashion Industry. A notable example of the influence technology has on fashion is the use of apparel software.
