Introduction
Smart Clothing with embedded technologies provides an important interface
between wearers and their environment, The design of textile and clothing
‘products’ and, in particular, the interface between the
user and enabling devices must be appropriate for the wearer’s
life style needs and culture, This publication looks at a breadth
of disparate emerging technologies in both textiles and clothing manufacture,
and in wearable computing, that need to be understood by designers
embarking on this relatively new area of interdisciplinary design,
The future clothing design research and development team also needs
to be conversant with health and wellness issues and the challenges
of monitoring and care
Clothing that has truly ‘wearable’ attributes should both
work and look good, To bring emerging technologies to near market,
and promote compliance, the aesthetics and comfort of the clothing
must be acceptable and the technology interface simple and intuitive
for an inclusive audience, Requirements capture of technical, aesthetic
and cultural demands of the wearer should inform the selection of
specific assemblies of textiles within the design process
To provide practical guidance and support the chapters in this publication
identify and elaborate a generic critical path from fibre production
through to commercial prototyping described in an accessible language
for designers, Innovative technologies may be integrated in a sequence
of stages to enhance funcionality throughout the textiles and clothing
critical path from fibre development to product launch, The application
of primarlly man made technical textiles points to the adoption of
state of the art manufacturing processes and to the potential for
the mass customization of products with individual characteristics,
At the beginning of this new textile and garment revolution designers
must also give consideration to the end of life of the product
