From digital-display dresses to remote control couture, this book
exposes the revolutionary interface between contemporary fashion
and technology. As twenty-first century fashion makes a dramatic
departure from traditional methods, designers no longer turn to the
past for inspiration, but look to the hi-tech future. The result is
techno fashion, the new wave of intelligent clothing that fuses
fashion with communication technology, electronic textiles, and
sophisticated design innovations that express new ideas about
appearance, construction and wearability. Born out of the
collaboration between fashion designers, researchers and
scientists, this new dialogue could be the most significant design
innovation in fashion's history, or indicate its eventual demise.
Either way, techno fashion promises to forever disrupt the
historical narrative of fashion evolution. Through interviews with
designers ranging from innovators such as Hussein Chalayan and
Tristan Webber to mavericks like Alexander McQueen, Bradley Quinn
examines the impact of this new direction. The fusion of design and
technology introduced by Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and Issey
Miyake has created another direction for clothing, creating a new
breed of designer-cum-scientist who redefines the way we dress,
communicate, and even respond to environmental changes. As
technology begins to shape fashion's future, it redefines the
boundaries between clothing, body and machine, forever transforming
the ethics and lifestyles traditionally designated by codes of
dress.
