Welcome to another episode of How to Build the Future, inspired by the movies. This month we're taking a look at how to build intelligent clothing and how to redesign the future of fashion.
The fashion industry has always been on parallel tracks with technological advancements and industrial revolutions, and the future will be no different. But the real challenge is building the technology and systems that allow a new line of clothing to operate safely and sustainably.
What could the development of intelligent clothing mean for the future of fashion and society? Let's explore the wider economic, social and environmental implications, from changing consumer behaviours and industry structures to resource consumption, personal identity and our relationship with the natural world.
