Next Tuesday, the fashion world will focus on Silicon Valley, as online clothier Betabrand provides a runway to makers, hackers, and wearable technologists. Apparel designers too!
Says founder Chris Lindland, “With technology in every pocket and soon every wrist, Silicon Valley has an out-sized impact on the way people look and experience the world. The next Valentino is likely staring into a computer, drinking his 4th Red Bull right now!”
The event sold out (1200 tickets) in a matter of days. And drones are diligently preparing to replace models on the runway. Watch as these garments dance gracefully through the air in ways Gisele Bündchen never could…unless she were juggled by a cyborg Tom Brady.
Betabrand’s Silicon Valley Fashion Week will feature the inventions of over 30 companies and designers. Their creations will be curated in the following shows:
May 12: Motion and Light: The New Commuter Presented by GenZe
May 13: Wearable Tech Presented by PCH (featuring drone fashion models)
May 14: Crowdfunded Fashion Presented by Shimmer
