Discussion centers on the current relationship between fashion and technology. The panel will focus on the exciting potential of new, soft and flexible technologies for the design world as well as manufacturing solutions for the fashion business. Wearable technology is a rapidly growing industry. However, design and stylistic implementations have been, to date, limited by “hard” technologies. Soft tech offers solutions and provides designers with a new tool to easily incorporate the advantages of wearable tech without compromising their artistic vision.
