Technology in Fashion

After exploring sustainable fashion I wanted to see what else is out there other than the usual, and have discovered wearable technology!  I must say that this is very exciting! Being a fan of SyFy, and beholding anything futuristic well, I love the idea of wearable technology going mainstream!   Can you see yourself going to the department store or boutique and picking up a tee that has embedded into the fabric technology that can and will change your life? Imagine if you didn't need to have your cellphone in your hand but rather the clothing that you wear will be able to do all the things that your cellphone does ....you can say out loud, "Call Amanda" and suddenly Amanda is on the line for you to talk to!  Or "Do a Google search" and suddenly you're able to have the information you seek right in front of you? Well hold on a moment curvy divas, I don't know if that is all possible yet, but can you imagine if that were so?! J ennifer Darmou...
