Today fashion is moving forward at a faster pace than ever before, with
advancing technologies and new materials reinventing clothing as we know
it. Futuristic garment designs are often inspired by surprising sources:
biological science, climate change, space suits, artificial
intelligence, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology. Fashion Futures
offers a fascinating survey of these new directions, charting the
transformational products, design processes, maverick materials, and
groundbreaking practitioners that are revolutionizing fashion. Design
expert Bradley Quinn also explores radical retail operations, fashion
forecasting, and the relationship between fashion and other disciplines.
Featuring inspirational interviews with international trend forecasters
and designers, and packed with illustrations of extreme designs and
prototypes, Fashion Futures is a thought-provoking overview of how
fashion will look, perform and be manufactured and purchased in the
twenty-first century.
