Clothing and fashion: The arrival of smart, connected, intelligent clothing led to marriage of fashion, healthcare and wellness. New fibres and textiles that are smart now link into the data-grid around you, adjusting their warmth and cooling cycles based upon real time information analysis. New textile science has also led to clothing that evolves it's form and function based on local conditions - clothing that cools with built-in refrigerant technology and coats that warm you through smart carbon-fiber heating tech. Not to forget that glasses, contact lenses and other health related fashion items have become increasingly integrated into your overall 'clothing infrastructure,' a phrase that took on increasing importance through the decade with the arrival of all this smart-clothing.

Clothing and fashion: The arrival of smart, connected, intelligent clothing led to marriage of fashion, healthcare and wellness. New fibres and textiles that are smart now link into the data-grid around you, adjusting their warmth and cooling cycles based upon real time information analysis. New textile science has also led to clothing that evolves it’s form and function based on local conditions - clothing that cools with built-in refrigerant technology and coats that warm you through smart carbon-fiber heating tech. Not to forget that glasses, contact lenses and other health related fashion items have become increasingly integrated into your overall ‘clothing infrastructure,’ a phrase that took on increasing importance through the decade with the arrival of all this smart-clothing.
