Fashion - Design or Technology
Today I am going to write about Fashion and Fashion Technology. First of all let us ask ourselves - What is Fashion. Now a days the word fashion is being used more frequently than ever. Fashion is a vague term used now a days to describe anything that a person may wear or do that is not done by others before. Previously fashion was used only to describe clothing or anything that was used for covering the body. But now the span of fashion has included everything that comes in use by human beings be it garments or latest mobile phones. Fashion now encompasses everything. Previously clothing used to be the main object to show oneself fashionable, but now the pattern and trend has changed to a great degree. Now I-Pods take the priority place for the youngsters to decide if someone is fashionable enough or not.
This means technology is making inroads into the area which was earlier the domain of fashion, mainly apparel. But is that ‘Fashion Technology’? No, that is not — I will deal with the subject in my subsequent posts.
