Technology has been used in shoes in the form of lights; which are used from children's sneakers to clear-heeled pumps made specially for proms.

Technology has changed fashion a lot from lights in sneakers to actually designing clothes and fabrics on the computer. Technology actually makes designing a bit easier for example, when making a pattern you don't have to draw it everytime but instead copy and paste the pattern

fashion has been influenced by technology with everyday accesories. i say this because with every new ipod, phone, or computer that comes out there is some type of design that u can add to it in order to personalize it your way. designers also comtribute to this because there are millions of louis vuitton, burberry, and betsey johnson cases out there to accesorize your items.

Technology has been used throughout fashion like in childrens foot wear. I remember when i used to have the little flashing lights in the sole of my sneakers lol. They mostly use lights in clothing when they're going for a futuristic type of look.

Technology has influenced in fashion in numerous ways. For example when you see back packs with pouch's for cellular devices or mp3 players. Or when you see lights in shoes, or certain fabrics that are anti-perspering.When we see clothing with a futuristic look such as moon boots inspired by astronauts.

Technology has been combined with Fashion for a long time now. I agree with most people on the sneakers with lights that light up when you walk. When I was younger I had sneakers like that..(my mom still has them..for memories lol).. I've also seen many dresses with lights..Who knows what the future holds.. the options are endless....=]

Technology is incorporated into fashion many ways. It can be A) on the garment or even B) the garment was made by technology.

A) You can use lights on sneakers, jackets & even purses. Not only can you use lights but ipod have found a way to listen to music everywhere you go! They have created bags, totes & coin purses where you can carry, listen and even charge your ipod.
( http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/reviews/ipodpurses/index.shtml )

B) Fabrics, or "smart fabrics" have been created through technology also. Researches and scientist find a way to make fabrics suitable for many purposes. I read in ( http://www.gizmag.com/go/3515/ )
they have created fabric that "adapts to changing temperatures by opening up when warm and shutting tight when cold just like a pine cone's scales do in nature, and is just one of the emerging developments in the burgeoning field of "biomimetics"."

*Stay informed.

There is another way of doing fashion and that is technology. This way of technology is a great way of puttiing detail in clothes, shoes and accessories.

Technology has given fashion designers the chance to visualize their ideas differently instead of always having to sketch them. Of course there is nothing wrong with sketching but technology can show the designs in a different perspective, it can come out in a way that it would come out with a pencil and paper and vice versa.

Technology has influenced fashion throught out all the time. The development of fashion is just like development of technology.
Hoods, Pockets, belts, and weatherproof garments are all examples of technology in Fashion. Possibly later on in the future, with new clothes, we will be warmer in the winter, stay cool in the summer and even look mdern.
