Welcome to the technological future — of fashion. New Yorkers got to peak into the future Wednesday evening with a tech fashion show hosted by Tech In Motion. The show, held in Chelsea’s Highline Stages Studio as part of Social Media Week, featured 3-D printed nails and handbags equipped with Bluetooth technology so they will never get lost.
Designers want to blend advanced technology with affordable fashion
For the less technologically inclined, the words “wearable tech” may conjure up images of RoboCop-esque suits, so some designers are hoping to introduce high-tech fashion that’s accessible to the average shopper. Ten companies presented their tech-conscious take on clothing and accessories at a wearable-tech fashion show Wednesday night as part of this year’s Social Media Week. The concepts included traceable shoulder bags, a light-up umbrella, 3D-printed shoes and nail art, as well as coffee-infused fabrics that can absorb odors to keep you smelling fresh. Tech in Motion, a national event series, hosted the show to bring the tech community together.
