Tickets for the next Computational Fashion event on May 1 just went on sale! Buy your tickets online here. More information below.
Presenting a diverse group of designers and scientists working in cutting edge textile research and production. From nanoparticles to circuit boards, technology is becoming embedded in the very fabric of the things we wear, creating clothing that’s more responsive to changing needs and conditions. Spurred in part by collaborations between academic and industry partners, “smart textiles” are beginning to enter the consumer market to enhance the properties of a garment whether it is heating, vitamin dissemination through the fabric, or weather proofing. These emerging developments are reshaping both materials and electronics for the human body. Join us as we explore possibilities within this growing area of creative and scientific innovation.
Presenters
Juan Hinestroza, Associate Professor of Fiber Science and Director of Textiles Nanotechnology Lab, Cornell University
Genevieve Dion, Assistant Professor and Director of Shima Seiki Haute Technology Lab, Drexel University
Becky Stern, Director of Wearable Electronics, Adafruit Industries
Moderated by Dr. Sabine Seymour, Computational Fashion lead advisor and founder of Moondial

Joris Debo, Creative Director at .MGX by Materialise (who will be presenting at the next Computational Fashion event at Eyebeam on February 27), was asked by Wired, “What technological innovations are taking place in fashion?”
“We’re on the brink of the third industrial revolution. The introduction of new materials and machines with a higher-resolution output will revolutionise the fashion industry, not only when it comes to manufacturing but also on a retail and logistical level. I see nothing that can stop 3D-printed outfits from entering your wardrobe.”
Read what other industry experts, including Computational Fashion lead advisor Sabine Seymour, had to say about the future of fashion.

Check out the video teaser for Iris van Herpen’s new collection. More info here.
“Since she started showing her line five years ago, van Herpen has become a major proponent of the 3D-printed garment, and her inspiration ranges from all sorts of conceptual alchemy—micro-organisms, chemical processes, synesthesia, and responsive architecture. She’s even made custom designed dresses for Björk.”
