Switch Embassy: A Wearable Technology

In her 2010 TED talk, titled “Lessons from fashion’s free culture”, Johanna Blakely describes how the fashion industry’s lack of copyright and patent protection has allowed it to thrive in the economic market. This is mainly because designers have been able to recycle the same building blocks of fashion to create innovate, utilitarian designs into what we regard as art to adorn ourselves. In this talk, she urges other creative industries to adopt this concept.

(Choose a garment, which can be used to discuss fashion from the point of view of the consumer. This garment must be able to demonstrate how the consumer individually constructs their identity and conveys that identity through the style and styling of clothing. You should treat this garment as an object as a form of evidence, which can help you to explain theories of fashion discussed in the sessions. The intention of your analysis is to examine the ways in which we can ‘read’ objects and images, understand their meanings and explain them in the context of broader theoretical and social concerns. You should aim to be as analytical as possible. You may want to use further

Fashion is everything to society and the media. The fashion industry has transformed into a necessity in the life of people. Everyone wants to look good, feel fabulous and feel as if we belong with everyone else. The envy and desire to wear certain things and look a certain way all come, from wearing the latest fashion handbags, accessories, dresses, shoes, and the list goes on. But, when is considering fashion into an individual’s life going too far to the extreme? Many do not consider the whereabouts of fashion materials and how the environment is affected by the mere existence of certain garments. Some may believe these objects grow on trees. But that is clearly not the case. Even though it would be nice. The fashion industry as a

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage. There is more to fashion than meets the eyes, fashion is precious and significant. It is a reflection of self-image, it speak the ream about who we are and how we review ourselves. Not only is fashion the reflection of self-image but also the reflection of our history as Coco Channel have said, “Fashion is not something that exist in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion

By the 21st century, the advancement in technology has forever changed the way clothing is made. “The impact of CAD software on everyday clothing is becoming more prevalent as the software is linked to 3D printing technology.” This saying, clothing has come to be an easy thing to come by and still is advancing. “Machines for home printing are becoming more affordable… the ability to create customized clothing is becoming more of a reality as technology evolves.” As technology evolves, it will impact the way people shop for clothes and how their clothes are

“People will stare. Make it worth their while”. If we could describe fashion in a single word, I think “diverse” would be an accurate one. If something characterizes fashion throughout time is the ability for it to change. Fashion nowadays is not the same as it was years ago, and throughout this essay I will discuss how trends have changed since the 70s all the way through the 90s.

Designers of course establish fashions as well as exploit them. Their role in creating consumer desire cannot be ignored and since this process demands continuous change, they are faced with a challenge. Their work may need to be sustainable and capable of renewal through evolution, redevelopment or replacement. Ensuring that renewal is sustainable requires careful and creative design consideration.

New innovations are appearing all the time and the fashion world reinvents itself every season which means it never gets boring. Technology is taking over the world of fashion, for

Elizabeth Wilson discusses this in ‘Adorned in Fashion’. She examines modernism’s constant creation of the new ideal persona rather than embracing individualism. Wilson argues that ‘new fashion starts from the rejection of the old and often an eager embracing of what was previously considered ugly’ (Wilson, Elizabeth. 2007). Hence fashion goes through a life cycle as Marilyn DeLong describes in ‘Fashion, Theories of’. This process circulates from birth, maturity and death, followed by rebirth. Hence fashion evolves from the past, revisiting and reinterpreting it in order to infuse it into a modern context for the continual generation of new innovations. Therefore fashion can be seen as a medium in which expresses a duality between the past and present, like in a woman’s identity. These texts respond to my research question as they make it clear that fashion in Western society cannot be acknowledged without acknowledging the past. This is because fashion evolved from the past. Thus facets of the past are naturally embedded in fashion. I will emphasis this by embedding the past more prominently within Western society and fashion today through the adornment of nature on the body in reference to our past origins which fostered a connection to nature more

As technology continues to progress fashion evolves right alongside. Before the invention of the tv the way to spread different styles and outfits was through sketches and designs. By this means it would take extended amounts of time to spread ideas of fashion from one place to another. The influence of technology on the fashion industry cannot be overlooked. Fashion is being rapidly offered to consumers at an amazingly fast rate. Nowadays anybody can have anything they want within the reach of a button on a phone or computer screen, fashion is instantaneous. It used to be following style patterns included venturing to the far corners of the planet in a group of 10 to create a

When you think of the word fashion, what do you think? Do you think about outrageous runway outfits? Cocktail dresses? Tracksuits? Whatever your impression of fashion, it is obvious that fashion plays an important role in today's society. We are judged by our clothing and appearance on an everyday basis, so why not make the most of our choices?

‘Fashion industry is characterised by short product life cycles, volatile and unpredictable demand, tremendous product variety, long and inflexible supply processes and a complex supply chain.’

Fashion is a manner and style especially clothes, shoes, makeup and hairstyle. When I came from my home country, I have not much knowledge about fashion, and even do not know more about fashion brand. I was learning from technology, school and start follows American fashion. In eighteen century, people were also very fashionable as we are mostly seeing in the old films and pictures. The fashion was started from Europe and England because on that time Kings and Queens were fashionable and spends money on luxury items. The Queen Elizabeth has famous because of fashion and style, because she is wearing bright dresses, necklace etc. The brands we are use now a day’s also established in many years back like Coach is in the fashion for last 75years. Now a day’s fashion is change every spring, summer and fall because people are more creative to do something different. Social media is the main source to develop the latest fashion between new generations. People are follows facebook, twitter, instagram because celebrities, models, and companies share their fashion with public. In the twenty century people have jobs and money that’s why they start spending on technology, and fashion, on the other side there are competition in the fashion industry so it’s difficult to compete it.
