Technology in Fashion

The use of technology is becoming a  new upcoming trend. Watching the 2006 Hussein Chalayan fashion show, where he used technolgy to change the garments by themselves on the model, he has set a trend.

"Steven Rosengard, the show's emcee and a recent participant on the reality series Project Runway, says that there is a movement in the fashion industry toward the use of technology. The technology at the show that Rosengard says has the most commercial appeal is a pair of jackets that have light-emitting diode arrays woven into the back of the fabrics. When the wearers touch jackets, a text message or design appears on their backs (see image below). The jacket can display whatever message the users choose".
