There is no doubt that fashion and science work hand in hand to invent fibres for elite sports and defence forces. These intelligent fabrics are starting to trickle down into general use but do we really need it?
If a textile can monitor heart rate will we become reliant on these fabrics to diagnose health problems rather than seek professional medical help?
If a textile can monitor our movement and location is it a breach against our human right to privacy?
I think intelligent textiles need to be used for practicality. If these fibres are produced for commercial fashion purposes it will leave a lasting impression on our already damaging environment.
