The fashion industry is no fun! I’ve finally distilled my beef with it into that statement. Whether shopping, buying, wearing, or experiencing clothes, they impart no sense of joy or humor. You may perceive these qualities, but they’re not inherent in the industry or the products, Joe Boxer being the one mass market exception that comes to mind.
Recently MIT staged a wearable technology fashion show during Internet World in New York City. It had all the trappings of a usual stuffy, uptight fashion show but with electronics draped on the stone-faced models. It’s too bad they need to inject themselves into that scene in order to validate their designs.
