OVERVIEW

Advanced materials, both existing and under development, give

garments a range of new capabilities, extending the funtionality of
clothes and widening their appeal.

“Increasingly, fashion brands want to be perceived as sustainable

and ethical. Fabric is central to this, as it touches on so many ar-
eas associated with both sustainability and ethics, ranging from
producing fibres in an ethical way to minimizing the carbon foot-
print of the material, coating, finishing and reuse.”

- Marie O’Mahony

TRANSFORMABLES

Transformable garments bring utility and multifunctionality to fash-

ion, giving the wardrobe roles beyond its wearable potential. Trans-
formable fashions, JAKPAK such as the can assume the form
of furniture and shelter today, but in the future they will be likely to
morph into other types of material goods, and change shape to per-
form robot-like tasks.
FIFTH SEASONS FASHIONS
Garments containing such innovations as phase-change materials,
shape-shifting fabrics and textiles that condense and thicken will
surpass the seasons, and people will wear clothing that senses tem-
perature changes and adjusts automatically.

SHAPE MEMORY MATERIALS

WEARABLE WELLNESS

In the future, wearing garments impregnated with dietary supple-

ments, stimulants and anti ageing products will be as popular as
swallowing vitamin tablets is today.

PURIFYING

Future fashion will continue to advance the quest for permanently

clean clothing and footwear, even to the extent that some will be said
to ‘purify’ the wearer and the environment.

The 'air-purifying' jeans showcased in Storey's Field of Jeans installa-

tion in 2011 , collaborated with scientists to create fabric coatings that filter
pollution from the air so that it does not come into contact with the wear-
er's skin.

INTERVIEW INSIGHTS WITH THE DESIGNERS

MARIE O’MAHONY

Are fashion designers likely to develop their own materials in the future?

“They are already doing it today - for example, the British fashion and design company Eley Kishimoto, in
which Mark Eley, who comes from a textile background, and Wakako Kishimoto are both engaged in the devel-
opment of the garments and the materials used, and Spanish fashion designer Manel Torres of Fabrican, who
has developed his own material in the form of his 'fabric in a spray can' technology. In this instance, the ma-
terial and the garment design are progressing together by necessity.”

SABINE SEYMOUR

Will consumers have more input into fashion in the future than they do today?

“Customizing a product by choosing designs, colours and so on is an existing practice for people and will con-
tinue in years to come. In the future, some garments will be designed by the consumer and then fabricated ac-
cording to his or her specifications. I predict, however, that this will remain a small percentage.”

ZAHA HADID

In what ways can fashion and architecture come together in the fashion retail of the future?

“Fashion and architecture are design interventions that, at their best, come together in fashion retail to create
a strong vision and cohesive experience. Fashion and architecture can use the same design parameters of
fixed points, folding, pleating and cutting out shapes and spaces. Principles of fashion and architecture can be
used to define a single room or space, allowing the customer to experience the space in multiple ways and
interpretations.”

ANNE MARIE COMMANDEUR

What needs to happen in order to enable fashion to move forward?

“There is a gap between technology and design today that needs to be closed. Although fibre technology is
extremely sophisticated, there are hardly any design features factored into the process or end product. Tex-
tile technologists often overlook the opportunities to engineer a high-quality product so that it includes a de-
sign aesthetic, meaning that few textile companies. get the best out of their machinery and resources.”

Fashion Designer Nancy Tilbury, couture craftsman Ian Wallace and designer and engi-
neer Benjamin Males

What innovations would you like to see in the fashions of the future?

“We would like to see every garment equipped with a multitude of sensing and computation abilities that con-
nect wearers to social-media platforms, their home, family members, colleagues and so on. Such garments
will provide ways to enhance us as humans, bringing to light a new world of fashion and couture experiences.
This is already happening in the forms of 3D-printed clothing, digital look books and fashion with integrated
networked technology.”
