< p > although today's topics such as "thermal sensitivity, heat retention, heat conduction" are also the news of fashion industry, for example, a museum in New York Fashion Technology Institute is holding a theme exhibition. In fact, fashion and technology have been established for over two centuries ago.

< p > Zhang Anhua, known as "New York a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "designer" /a ", with gradient printing, luminous fabrics and self heating lining," the driving force of fashion comes from fresh ideas, and fashion prosperity originates from innovation.

Therefore, fashion and technology go hand in hand.

The invention of sewing machine and artificial dyestuff gave birth to the fashion industry in the late nineteenth Century.

The exhibition at the P FIT museum shows 100 exhibits selected from the archives of FIT, which focus on the way in which fashion is influenced by technology.

The contents include both the invention of < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx" > wash fabric < /a > plastic zipper, and also show designers such as Alexander McQueen, Wakubo Rei, Lssey Miyake, Pierre Cardan, Elsa Xia barreli and Hossain Karajan, who are very creative and even innovative in technology.

"In twentieth Century and twenty-first Century, we have seen many related exhibitions, but we have not yet seen anything related to the industrial revolution."

Emma McClendon said she planned the exhibition with alle Elijah, Colin Hill and Lynn vadner.

"Our exhibition has more traceability of the relationship between them, and it hopes to bring people some content that has never been thought about."

Fukai Akiko, an expert and curator of fashion history, said: "chemist William Perkins is one of the most important figures in the history of technology and fashion."

William Perkins is known as the father of artificial dyes. He invented dye aniline violet in nineteenth Century.

< p > the exhibition shows some landmark achievements in the history of technology and fashion (especially the major inventions since twenty-first Century, including electronic fabrics embedded in digital components, remote control < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a >, electronic embroidery using LED technology, and online customization) measuring the size of clothing through the network.

At the exhibition site, there are also images of Karajan in the 2007 spring and summer fashion show in Paris. The audience can see five sets of skirts that can be automatically deformed, all designed by computer 2D and 3D.

In addition to this, P also displays the Burberry (Burberry) hologram fashion show in Beijing in 2011, showing the 3D print garments and bags produced by designers from Freedom of Creation of Holland design company (using computer-controlled laser to sculpt products).

This is the first time that FIT has imported the printed fabric from Freedom of Creation into permanent collection for the first time in 10 years.

< /p >

< p > "the Museum of New York Fashion Technology Institute is a very professional fashion Museum. It has been concerned about the new trend of fashion industry, including 3D printing fabrics."

Valerie Stil, curator and chief curator of the museum, said: "this technology has been used in industrial design for about 20 years to complete the prototype of Valerie Steele.

However, it is the first time that Freedom of Creation's Jeanne Kai Janne (Janne Kytt Nen) and Kiri Evans and (Jiri Evenhuis) have applied the rapid prototyping technology to fabric design for the first time.

The P exhibition also shows some early works that are not so high in science and technology, such as a man's machine woven jacket (1780 -1800), so that viewers can understand how the latest machine helped garment manufacturers to make better suits.

A century later, Elsa Xia La Ruili began to apply plastic zippers to her own design.

Two designs are presented to the world: one is a dress dress about 1933, and the other is an evening dress introduced in 1937. It is woven with cellophane paper and wool.

< p > at the same time, according to McClendon, "in the 50s of last century, washing machines became the essential products of modern families.

For this new lifestyle change, designers have also adopted more washable fabrics to cope with them.

It is also because of this reason that Claire McCardell (Claire McCardell) launched a work in 1956, advertising with a Philco washing machine.

< /p >

Other examples of advanced fabrics developed by other designers include a skirt designed by Pierre Cardan in 1968, using a material that is made of Denal (Dynel) fabric, which is made of P, which is made of hot material. The material is Cardine.

In addition, there are two pairs of made "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "> leather < /a > (Corfam) made of a target=" _blank "href=" _blank "> shoes >" shoes ". This kind of material coated with plastic layer is issued by DuPont Co, which imitates the characteristics of all kinds of leather.

McClendon also mentioned that, in the 60s of last century, the most beautiful period of plastic material was the product of Yves and Saint Laurent's PVC coat and plastic and metal dress of Paco Rabanne (Saint Rabanne).

However, as alle Elias pointed out, without the invention of cellophane, nothing could be achieved.

< /p >

< p > "we all think that in the 60s of last century was the world of celluloid, but in fact, it had already appeared in 20s and 30s."

"Even in the late nineteenth Century, there were related studies and experiments," he said.

In other words, this may be the age of technology, but perhaps not everything remains to be developed.
