Capricious Clothing

Consumers express their individuality through reactive clothing

Implications - With the proliferation of unique personas and avatars at consumers' disposal in the digital sphere, brands offering physical products need to find way to match that degree of individuality. Clothing retailers have managed to do so by creating items that react to the wearers' bodies and surroundings, ensuring that, though fashioned through same process, each piece is unique. Brands accessing reactivity stand a better chance of appealing to consumers' individualistic self-perceptions.
Workshop Question - What could you add to your product to make it react to each consumer differently?
Trend Themes
1. Reactive Clothing - Brands offering clothes that react to the wearers' bodies and surroundings appeal to consumers' individualistic self-perceptions.
2. Pollution-detecting/reacting Apparel - The trend of pollution-detecting/reacting apparel gives birth to eco-friendly technology that contributes to consumer consciousness and environmental sustainability.
3. Living Accessories - Living accessories that are mobile and reactive with sensor devices change the appearance of clothing and can serve as personal on-body assistants.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Reactive clothing, pollution-reacting/detecting apparel, robotic living accessories, and thermal-sensitive sweaters infuse technology and innovate classic knit sweaters to create unique pieces of fashion.
2. Environmental Sustainability - The innovation of pollution-reacting/detecting apparel and eco-friendly technology contributes to consumer consciousness, environmental sustainability, and sustainable fashion practices.
3. Technology - The era of living accessories introduces robotic jewelry and accessories into the world of fashion, creating endless opportunities to integrate technology further into clothing designs.
