    Abstract

    The fashion industry is famous for their ability to let consumers desire to change. However, the last material innovation widely accepted by the fashion industry is from 1953. If the vogue world would gospel innovation and collaboration 'for the better' they can make a huge change in just 3 seasons. Garments can support the wearer: E-fashion starts caring for us! Current E-fashion projects are mainly about research and show that it is possible to advance fashionable garments. It isn't widely accepted and commercial yet. This paper explores the E-fashion fusionist [9] approach: participatory design via prototyping [1] and an iterative research-Through-design [15] process to create desirable E-fashion. Design experiences show that implementation of fashion principles is a key element to fuse E-fashion in society.
