Something exciting is happening in the world of fashion, and INTERLACED are inviting you to become a part of it!
Wearable technology is on the rise, a concept which may seem totally alien to most, but when you think about it, it's only natural for technology to progress on to what we wear! We have grown up surrounded by technology and all it has to offer, being glued to our smartphones or discovering the newest gadget to help you assist you on your fitness journey! There is no doubt that the Apple Watch is probably one of the most well known and commercialized examples of this 'fash tech' revolution which is taking place! However in the near future, it won't just be impressive watches that we're sporting, but also shoes, dresses and jackets! Heck we probably won't even need phones because our bra's will update our status for us!
I think Will.I.Am sums up what is happening very simply - 'In 10 years, everyone will have a 3D printer in their house. Your friend will say, “Let’s go, hurry up” and you’ll go, “Wait, my shoes haven’t finished printing yet.”'
Understandably, when 'fashion' and 'technology' are mentioned in the same sentence, the majority of people, myself included, will automatically think of some crazy, flashing, sci-fi design! As you can see from the stunning image of Carrie Underwood and her projection dress above, this most definitely is not always the case! I mean she looks like Cinderella for crying out loud, I for one would love to rock something like that! Yes, there is some futuristic aspect to fash tech, but that's only because it is the future, whether we can wrap our minds around that yet or not. It is totally overwhelming to think that something like this will someday replace most things we wear now, but I think it's great to learn to embrace these exciting changes within the industry, whilst perhaps keeping classic shapes/styles that we know work for us! Undoubtedly it will take years for designs like this to work their way onto the high street and into our closets, but with people such as Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker and Katy Perry already being huge fans, us fashionista's are naturally going to follow behind sooner or later, right?
So, this is where INTERLACED come in! These guys are bridging the gaps between brands, designers, bloggers and consumers, bringing us all together as one to witness and be part of the growth of fash tech! The 3rd of September will mark the first INTERLACED event, where there will be a technology fashion show, debates and talks all about this exciting movement of fashion! No matter what you do or no matter what your view, you can get involved with this is one way or another, simply visit their website here and click 'Get Involved' to join the revolution!
I would totally love to hear your views on this subject, particularly as fashion is all about being open minded! We may personally not wear something ourselves, but we can definitely appreciate the beauty and creativity that is the art of fashion!
