Uniqlo: Turn Up The Heat
This
short article first caught my eye in Vogue: London because of the image that
accompanied it. Showing thermal/heat technology within the picture instantly
told me this would be about some kind of fibre technology; which as I am
learning about fibres and yarns more within my specialism, I am finding more
and more interesting. There is so much
new technology available within textiles that I am keen to learn about them and
hopefully, at some point, use them within my own work. Secondly I was intrigued
by the quote ‘Where fashion meets fibre innovation’. Most of my work tends to
be catered around fashion so finding an article that includes both of my interests
I found instantly compelling.
Near the end of the article it
mentions about using this new heat technology under sportswear. As a runner I
am constantly looking for winter sports clothing that can keep you warm, is
lightweight, and flexible. It can be extremely difficult trying to find
something that caters for all three aspects
Although
the previous three factors I mentioned for winter sports clothing are the most
important, as a textiles student, I also want it to be fashionable. Therefore
the fact that this brand and technology is in the third most well-known fashion
magazine in the world, has quite a big influence on how trendy it is.
