When people think of a fashion technology collaboration a lot of different things come to mind. NikeiD is one that has come into its own over the past few years but the big one is wearable tech. While many people may not consider a smartwatch a piece of fashion there is merit to the design.
Fashion technology collabs never used to happen with the frequency they do now. With technology becoming ever more important in the day to day dealings of people, and fashion having been a staple of self-expression forever, it was only a matter of time.
We've seen phone brands use fashion to promote their brand, fashion giants incorporate tech into their shows and even seen some pieces made of electronics.
