Shima Seiki to explore the future of garments at MIT research lab
14/05/2018
The MIT Media Lab was launched in 1980 as a space where researchers can design technologies that “help people create a better future”. It welcomes a range of people, including product designers, nanotechnologists, data-visualisation experts and industry researchers.
Shim Seiki has said by collaborating with the MIT Media Lab it hopes to “explore next-generation technologies that open up new opportunities for the garment sector.”
“The fashion apparel industry is currently facing paradigm changes due to market trends that are no longer based on traditional values, as well as uncertainties that reflect the rapidly changing global economy,” the company added. “Within such a market environment the need arises for providing consumers with a consistent supply of quality items at appropriate price points based on advanced trends.”
