FashionWare Fashion Event at CES 2014 - Where Tech & Wearable Style Converge on the Runway


Fashion



The FashionWare at International CES 2013 was unforgettable, overflowing with new creative and energetic ideas to gracefully blend fashion and technology. With such beautiful and eclectic styles last winter, I'm looking forward to seeing what the models will be wearing down the runway at this year's live fashion show during International CES 2014 on January 9th. In fact, I'm anticipating this year's event will be even more stylish and tech savvy.

Robin Raskin, founder of Living in Digital Times and organizer of this unique fashion exhibition, says that the 2014 runway production will show off a range of innovative styles. 

According to Raskin, "The intersection of fashion and technology can be found in products such as an LED skirt powered by motion sensors, functional accessories like texting gloves, clothes that adjust to the outdoor temperature, solar-charging handbags, sensor-controlled jewelry and accessories, smart glasses, smart watches, custom 3D printed items and more."

"FashionWare is a wake-up call to the fashion industry," Raskin continues. "Whether it's 3D printers used to create your own accessories, fabrics that change color based on the wearer's body temperature, or glasses that let you augment your world, the fashion industry is about to enter a renaissance thanks to technology."

"Up and coming designers are making wearable technology accessible to the average consumer," Julie Sylvester, co-producer of the show, points out. "Tech has become a personal fashion statement as it has a functional part of life; the innovation is incredible."


Designers for FashionWare 2014 include


  • Amy Winters, Rainbow Winters
  • Billie Whitehouse, Wearable Experiments (We:eX)
  • Valerie Lamontagne, 3lectromode
  • Angels Dale & Laura Dempsey, Make Fashion
  • Asher Levine, Asher Levine Studio

FashionWare Runway Show CES 2013 - A Look Back at Last Year's Tech Fashions


Fashion



Last year's FashionWare event at International CES 2013 was a patchwork quilt of surprises. From ready-to-wear clothing and accessory styles now in stores to experimental prototypes and some sparkling one-offs, the fashion meets tech interpretations were eye catching and noteworthy.

The 2013 FashionWare show in Las Vegas was produced by Robin Raskin, founder of Living in Digital Times. Actually, I've admired Robin for many years since I too am a Baby Boomer who has been attending CES for decades and am still mesmerized by how technology continues to permeate more and more of modern every day life. 

Hostess and actress Kelly LeBrock, known for both her glamorous and techie roles in movies like Woman in Red and Weird Science, couldn't have been a better choice to comment as models walked the runway in their high tech fashion best.

My favorite ensemble at this fashion-merging-with-tech show was the playful outfit featuring a light up dress trimmed with children's LED powered building blocks blinking in four different colors. Completing the multi hue look were brightly colored accessories that included KidzGear headphones, a GeoPalz pedometer and the ARTSEE Studio which is a kids' no-mess creative art workstation that works with the iPad.

Among other 2013 designs were at least one outlandish one-off and an extraordinary collection of MOON Berlin’s dreamy and elegant LED evening and party dresses.

A grouping of stylish casual separates integrating Alphyn’s custom pockets for both women and men to stow their multitude of gadgets and devices was also pretty cool.
