Aims

Our aim is to explore how the value of clothing and fashion can be extended through the integration of information and communication functions, informed by and informing new technological developments, and building on the traditional concepts of clothing and associated cultures as expressive and communicative medium that connects the body with our social world. Using clothing as a vehicle, which we all relate to in various degrees, the project aims to inform as many people as possible of the importance of combining science and art in their everyday future lives. The Cluster envisages a wardrobe that is future focused, that maps the conventions and cultures of fashion and clothing with integration of technology.
