Fashion takes inspiration from many sources including trends from past decades, sports, film and travel, but now another industry has joined the style world – technology. In the past years wearable tech has become an increasingly popular trend, so much so that even Amazon have launched their own dedicated store that will feature more than 100 different wearable devices, from smart watches to wearable cameras and of course, Google Glass. Now, technology has taken a step further and has begun to inspire fashion designers, either through utilising tech in their design, taking inspiration from gaming, or coming up with a design for all of your tech!

2D Bags

Inspired by the Japanese animated productions, Anime, the 2D bags could easily be mistaken for an illustration. Thanks to the cartoon-like outlines, combined with fun and bold designs, these bags look as though they have just jumped off the page of an artist’s drawing pad.

Pollution Has Never Been so Fashionable

People are indecisive and no more so than with fashion. So how about clothes that can change colour at the touch of a sensor? Well these students from Ohio can do exactly that.  Nien Lam and Sue Ngo came up with the idea for a class on wearable technologies in the interactive telecommunications program at Tisch School of the Arts.  ‘The organs in your body are invisible to you, just like pollution and the other silent killers out there,’ said Lam, 32, who lives on the upper West Side.

Lüme

This brand is an “electronically infused clothing collection” which integrates dynamic and customisable LEDs into clothes controlled from a mobile phone. The users gets to select what colour they fancy trimming their specially designed dress, and simply tap the command into corresponding the smartphone app.  At the moment only elements of a dress can be changed, but a larger scale project is on the horizon from a number of designers.
