Are there valid fashion applications for smart fabrics in the fashion industry? Or are these developments more essential to the medical world?
Fair enough developmetns such as Photonic textiles are a positive step forward in the medical industry, but what is there application in the fashion industry? And if there is an application in the fashion industy, is it simply a superficial use in the industry?
Personally, I think the application to the fashion industry is unneccessary and unwarranted, I think if we can develop these fibres and fabrics for medical reasons, we can change medical history for the better. As Mai pointed out, if we can develop a fabric that can detect cardiovascular disease in its early stages, can we not stop this illness from taking so many lives?
The question is however, if developing these fabrics is overly damaging to the environment, yet can, say, cure cancer, is it worth the production of such fabrics?
So in fact, I guess its a catch 22, we either live our naturasl lives as intended, and what happen will happen, in an environemtn we are trying to sustain and save, or we live longer due to these fabrics, but rapidly destroy our environment because of it.
Which would you choose?
