Technology within fashion :

Technology is “the study and knowledge of the practical, especially industrial, use of scientific discoveries”.[5] Technology within fashion has broadened the industry and allowed for faster production processes.

Over the years, there has been an increase in the use of technology within Fashion Design as it offers new platforms for creativity. Technology is constantly changing and there have been innovations within the industry. 3D printing allows a larger area of personalized products and widening originality.[6] Iris van Herpen, a Dutch designer, has showcased the incorporation of 3D printing as her Crystallization used 3D printing for the first time on a runway.[6] The innovation has re-shaped the fashion industry and creates a new area of creativity.

Apps and software have increasingly changed how designers can use technology to create. Adobe Creative Cloud, specifically Photoshop and Illustrator, is a new means of communication for designers and allows ideas to flow. Designers are provided with a space to also create more professional and industry standard specifications such as technical flats and tech packs.
