Advanced Technological impact on fashion industry:
fashion is something we have invented since the beginning of human civilization. every human being on the planet loves to wear clothes and make a fashionable outfit both indoor and outdoor. over the centuries fashion has become more and more popular. one of the biggest reasons for that is the rise of technology.
what is fashion :
The fashion or clothing industry is the combination of design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, retailing, and promotion of all types of apparel. The fashion industry is a multi-billion dollar sector in the world that plays a major part in import/export for every country. Fashion can be divided into so many categories such as men, women, and children, religion, weather, occasion, colour, body area, etc. Although clothes were invented at the beginning of human civilization, the fashion industry started with the beginning of the modern age. This is strongly affected by the rise of technological equipment such as sewing machines and the rise of the capitalist system.
why fashion is important :
there are many factors that support the statement of importance of the fashion industry.
First of all, we need clothes to wear.
then there are so many jobs/careers that the fashion industry directly or indirectly creates such as designers, manufacturers, distributors, retail sellers etc.
Also, the fashion industry has a huge influence on the global supply chain. There are so many international trades happening related to the fashion industry.
fashion also plays a Hugh part in expressing cultural significance and identity.
It is also a huge part of personal identity and personality.
As mentioned before, there are so many reasons for the fashion industry being an important sector in the world.
fashion and technology :
But, one of the reasons why the fashion industry improving and influencing the world continuously is the rise of technology and continuous implementation of it in the fashion sector.
As mentioned before, technological inventions such as sewing machines, made fashion a major industry in the world. but with inventions such as computers, the process rapidly accelerated. today fashion is heavily dependent on technology. it is not just the design and manufacturing part, but also the entire process from design to selling.
But, there is a small gap now.
The most recent technological improvement we are witnessing is the rise of Artificial Intelligence(AI).
Artificial intelligence is mainly used to make essential human activities more automated and easier. For example, advanced A. I virtual assistant in your computer can perform some of computational tasks by itself according to human instructions without human intervention.
A.I. is now spreading field by field. From the military to the medical field, teaching, and even driving is now actively A. I using fields.
So, it is a matter of time, before AI is being used in the field of fashion.
Already, there are software developments to create A.I generated fashion designs.
But, now we are discussing the advantages of using A. I powered technologies to create fashion designs.
we normally use clothes and wearables just as wearables.
But if we can create cloths and wearables not just as wearables but also for other functionalities, that is more versatile and valuable.
When we watch a sci-fi movie we can see many futuristic wearable designs that act as multifunctional devices.
Since we are advancing in almost every field with AI, we need to focus on creating AI-powered technologically advanced multifunctional purposes. At V-GEAR, we are designing multipurpose dresses and clothes with the help of AI and technology. For example, our first prototype design is a temperature-controlled self-healing AI jacket.
V-GEAR is a start-up company that focuses on creating AI and technologically advanced clothes and wearables with multifunctional purposes.
