The Impact Of The Intelligent Age On The Fashion Industry

At present, foreign media have commented on the development of smart fashion.

At present, smart watches play a leading role in intelligent wearable devices. Fitness professionals are keen to wear these devices to monitor their own movement, geographical location and physical condition, and hope to use these devices to improve their health. Yes, now fashion designers have joined the industry. They fully tap the potential of sensors and connect to the Internet, hoping to design clothes and jewelry that are not only beautiful and interesting, but also smart.

Imagine a dress that can shine - in fact, because there are many LED embedded in the fabric - and it is these LEDs that make the dress shine on the catwalk. This is Matt Drinkwater's vision, and in Disney, With the help of StudioXO and Richard Nicoll.

Drinkwater, professor of London Fashion College and head of fashion creative department, said Tinker Bell Clothing is the founder of high-tech fashion. This dress is a tribute to the fairy in Peter Pan's story. It is made of optical fiber material, and light-emitting diodes enable the dress to emit light in the dark.

Drinkwater hopes to see more similar clothes at the International Fashion Week, and more and more celebrities can wear such clothes on the red carpet at the award ceremony. However, there is still much work to be done.

He said: "Elie appeared at New York Fashion Week in 2014 The 'dress sewn with 50 Apple phones' designed by Taharis is absolutely amazing. We expect that online clothing will also appear in the fashion industry. Now almost all online clothing is in the health field. "

　　The Lauren Bowker, the designer of Unseen, invented a material that can use sensor signals to change colors and patterns, including a skirt that can understand people's energy field and emotional changes by reading human brain waves, and a headdress composed of 4000 gemstones. It can read brain activities and use different colors to describe individual thinking processes.

At this year's London Men's Wear Week, Ada+Nik, a British brand, released a leather jacket with an embedded Narrative Clip automatic camera.

　　Nik Thakkar said: "Ada and I both think that we have lost a lot of life experiences because we always use phones and cameras to record these experiences", just like a person is divided into two parts

CuteCircuit in London has designed light-emitting clothes, which can display Twitter dynamics and create a "hug shirt" and Bluetooth connection, so that people can send a hug to a person wearing the same shirt at a distance. There is also a 1024 pixel programmable T-shirt, which is embedded with a camera, speakers, and microphone. You can update the dynamics, songs, and pictures in real time.

Francesca, creative director and partner of Cute Rosella He added: "At the latest press conference, we introduced many beautiful silk skirts and jackets, which have built-in smart fiber diodes to change the style and interaction mode of clothes. People can use the APP on their mobile phones to control these clothes. This means that it only takes a few seconds for you to download a new style, and the clothes will also show a completely different visual effect."

In fact, it's not just clothes. Even brands like Haoya Watch have announced their entry into the Internet of Things wearable field, but there is more room for the development of smart jewelry. Drinkwater pointed out that Kovert from Shoreditch Jewellery Alarm can be sent by vibration, and Netamto's bracelet can track your daily sunshine.

Intel and Fashion retailers Opening MICA manufactured together by Ceremony. Intel unveiled its $495 bracelet at CES last year. In the exhibition notice and Smart wrist strap MICA is also a platform for customized applications.

Ayse Ildeniz, vice president of Intel, said, "We and Opening When Ceremony sat together for a round table meeting, our engineers were frightened by their ideas for the first time. Oh, my god! How can this work? This is impossible! After returning, we chose the best compromise plan, which should meet women's aesthetic requirements and be technically feasible as far as possible, but it is really not easy to choose between the two. "

This year, Intel The Dress technology is superior to others. This dress combines sensors and robots to show the feelings of the wearer. It extracts many biological signals to understand the pressure of the wearer. When someone approaches you, if you are nervous, the clothes will attack. If you think the other person is friendly, it will leave enough space for contact. This dress is made by Danish artist Anouk Created by Wipprecht.

Ildeniz said, "This spider Dress is a work of art. We opened a research and development store to Anouk and asked her, 'What do you want?' " That dress was her idea. It is really extraordinary, not only because it uses Edison, the Internet of Things platform we have built, but also because the designer has added sensors to this platform. This dress is very fashionable, and its production process is also very fashionable. "

Ildeniz said that she used to joke with her friends when they talked about squeezing the subway in a dress with a flashing red light. She said: "I really don't know whether I want such a dress. It shows people the way of communication between the wearer and the world, as well as his feelings and emotions." It is no exaggeration to say that it is a mind reading skill.

The more sensors you have, the more interactions you need between clothing like Intel Spider. "If we really live in a world led by sensors, then clothes, clothes and stores, clothes and other things can communicate and interact."

But what happens next depends on the development of technology. Ildeniz pointed out that the sensor and processing power are almost completely squeezed into a mobile phone, which is connected to various devices as a hub, or this ability disperses various parts of the body. Whether in necklaces, watches, earrings, pants or bras, a distributed connection will be formed.

She said: "Current research is still hovering between the two extremes", but one thing is certain that the future world will be full of interconnected sensors. We just decided how to use it - as a pedometer or as a T-shirt to show our emotions.

Another obstacle is that the electronic components should be small enough. One answer of Intel is that the system chip with the size of a button can read and analyze sensor information and transmit data through Bluetooth.

There are other problems, the most obvious is how to clean clothes. Ileniz pointed out that most intelligent health clothing uses "puck", which can be removed when it needs cleaning.

Rosella of CuteCircuit pointed out that her company's clothing design technology is more mature, but she said: "Our original intention of design is to let people wear it."

Basic clothes can be washed in 30 ℃ water with standard detergent, while more refined materials need dry cleaning.

Rosella said, "We carried out two years of cleaning tests before putting this high-tech fashion on the market. Wearing these clothes is no different from other clothes, but these high-tech fashion looks more beautiful and can create magical interaction effects. So the only excuse for not wearing an interactive T-shirt is that you are too lazy to wash it and put it at the bottom of the dirty clothes basket. "
