Technology's Influence in Fashion over Time

By Brunson Stafford

The world of fashion has seen a plethora of changes through the years, and most of these changes are brought about by technology. From historical innovations like sewing machines and the cotton gin to newer and more modern trends like performance fabrics and wearables, there is definitely no shortage of developments in the glitzy and glamorous fashion industry.

And, this trend doesn't look like it will be stopping soon. In fact, new technologies are poised to transform the fashion industry into one of the world's most innovative fields. Take a quick look at some trends in technology that are shaping contemporary fashion.

Wearable Technology

From the likes of the Apple Watch and other similar devices, wearable tech has been a rising trend that is remarkably popular among early adopters and millennials. It is now common to see people owning at least one of these wearables. Among the most in-demand devices include smartwatches and activity tracker wristbands. More growth is expected in the coming years with the rise of more futuristic wearables such as smart eyewear and virtual reality headsets. Needless to say, wearable tech is going to soar as among the most popular fashion trends as its possibilities and uses expand.

Smart Fabrics

Smart fabrics, or also called e-textiles, have been designed to offer their wearer with added value. Whether this is in the form of giving feedback about your health or keeping you protected from extreme weather elements, smart fabrics are starting to hit the mainstream. Solar-powered clothes and accessories are also among the latest developments in the field. From jackets equipped with a charger and solar-powered backpacks, it is exciting to see innovation in energy that extends to the fashion industry. With smart fabrics, the possibilities are endless, making it easy for anybody to get excited about the fashion's future.

3D Printing

Back in 2013, Diva von Teese, an entertainer, made history when she stunned everyone with the 3D printed gown made by Francis Bitonti and Michael Schmidt. Based on the Fibonacci sequence, the said gown was made as a 3D model and printed nylon as seventeen parts. At present, 3D printing grows in popularity in the fashion industry as high-end designers and fashion school students embrace the technology. In fact, many at-home fashion designers create their own line of clothing with the use of 3D printing.

Smart Jewelry

Pieces of jewelry make fashion statements and serve a purpose. While an activity tracker looks more at home in the gym than on night outs, there are some companies cropping up to provide fashion-forward pieces that do more than counting your steps. CUFF, one of the leaders in the space, aims to keep every woman safe and connected at the same time, even when they do not have a direct access to mobile devices. With a smart jewelry like stylish bracelets, they can quickly alert their family and friends in case

of emergency situations. Some smart jewelry options use a combination of vibrations and colors to alert wearers to important calls, messages, and notifications.

Fashion is only one of the numerous industries that continuously evolve due to rapidly changing technology. That is why Brunson Stafford always expects something new in the world of fashion as technology becomes more advanced.
