Fashion Technology and Wearables

Overview

We offer a master degree in Fashion Technology and Wearables at the Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED) . The link between fashion and technology means much more than designing clothes and accessories or incorporating electronic devices. 

It allows the application of new processes and tools to optimise the efficiency of design and manufacturing in the fashion world, thereby generating new materials that open up a path for improving fashion products and enabling the development of products whose usefulness goes beyond that of prêt-à-porter. 

Objectives

• To obtain a broad overview and to learn about the technological and technical processes that help to create new materials for subsequent development in the field of fashion. 

• To use soft electronics and programming to provide textiles with intelligent behaviour.

• To make textiles interact with their surroundings and the people wearing them.

• To work and control complex computer-generated geometries upon which virtual simulations can be applied.

• To create rapid prototypes by using digital manufacturing techniques.

• To prepare future professionals for the new opportunities that are emerging in the field of new materials and related technologies as drivers of innovation in the textile industry.

• To train professionals to implement fashion projects with social, environmental and technological concerns.-To integrate intelligent devices into a fashion collection.
