    Invention of "smart" clothing
    Now in 2013, scientists have tested a new clothing material and found it worthy: electronic, touch-screen battery fabrics. Able to charge itself, change the heat of a car with the touch of a finger, and adjust the volume on a music player with a brush of a coat, these formerly hard-edged gadgets have become comfy clothes that are tech-savvy as well. We also believe that the future of clothes will express your personality and how you comunnicate as well. Clothes will become a walking piece of art
  • Normal Clothes

    Normal Clothes
    Nowadays, the regular person would most likely wear a scarf, some jeans (maybe colored), some fashionable top, and shoes. Shoe brands such as TOMS, UGGS and others like Michael Kors, Jessica Simpson and other designer brands are in trend. Designers like Coco Chanel, Gucci, and Versace play a huge part in how people dress. For kids, there is always Gap, Justice, or Chidren’s place. Land’s End, Aeropostale, Nordstrom, and Macy’s are also popular.
  • Future clothes

    We think futuristic clothes would be able to skype, check your email, have videos running while still on the person, hold apps, take pictures and videos, and charge devices, as well as heat up on a winter day, cool down on a hot day and talk, like siri, to all household devices. Clothes will be able to have all these while also being comfy. Shoes will have a built in GPS system as well as being able to notice bumps or cracks in the road and warn you to watch your step- before you notice!

    We think that not only will the clothes in the future become more electronically able; but also the clothing will represent art more. The clothes will become a way to express personality and what you believe in. Art will be shown more throughout fashion, making clothes something that will be admired maybe in a museum.
