Techno Fashion

I'm glad I purchase this book. I'm still reading thi book.

This book was written in 2002 and it shows. While the first half of the book is very interesting and informative, the second half is boring and dull (hence 3 stars). It does introduce you the whole idea of what techno fashion ie...survelliance wear, LED fashion, fashion as furniture, architectural fashion and you do get a good idea of the various fabrics and technologies that are going on. But by the second half, most of this is well known to you and is a lot of repeating. I would recommend instead his later book, Fashion Futures  if you have been following the fashion beat for any amount of time in which case most of this book is moot. But those who know next to nothing, at this point, 2013, it's a good but dated introduction and for that the price is way out of bounds.

I bought this book combined with THE SUPERMODERN WARDROBE, as it was recommended to me this way. These books are very similar in a lot of ways. Both books have almost the same pictures in them and talk about the same things. They are just divided differently.This book has way more text in it then SUPERMODERN WARDROBE. It is all black and white as well, and the SUPERMODERN WARDROBE is in all color. This book is almost like reading a textbook on the designers who do Techno Fashion and what it is all about. If you want to skim the surface I would recommend THE SUPERMODERN WARDROBE, but definetly order this if you want to go more into detail about the subject. The pictures aren't as good and they are all in black and white, but it is way more detailed then SUPERMODERN.

Arrived on time. just ideal for helping me with my uni work.Also good value. thanks.
