Technology and Innovation
Another major factor that is influencing and transforming fashion is technology and innovation. Technology is enabling new and improved ways of designing, producing, and consuming fashion, as well as creating new and exciting experiences and interactions. Technology is also enhancing the functionality, performance, and aesthetics of fashion, as well as expanding the possibilities and boundaries of fashion.
Some of the technologies and innovations that are shaping fashion in 2024 and beyond are artificial intelligence, which can help with personalization, recommendation, and styling; 3D printing, which can enable customization, on-demand production, and zero-waste design; biotechnology, which can create new and novel materials, such as leather grown from cells or silk made from bacteria; and wearable technology, which can integrate sensors, data, and connectivity into clothing and accessories, such as smart watches, fitness trackers, or health monitors.
