Vistas of hope for the future of fashion, textiles and technology, from international designers, scientists and theorists

Despite technological advances--new kinds of fabric, design processes, 3D-printing, miniaturized electronics and design software--changes in the fashion industry and everyday apparel have not been as significant as we might expect. If the fashion industry were embrace any of these innovations more fully, its character could change completely within only one or two seasons.

Unfolding Fashion Tech shows what the future of fashion could look like, according to designers, scientists, industry professionals and theorists in the fashion tech field. It unites their different perspectives on the challenges and explores alternatives to the plentitude of discarded garments buried in land masses everywhere. The book is edited by Dutch designer Marina Toeters, who, through her business by-wire.net, stimulates collaboration between the fashion industry and scientists.
