SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2016) - Last night, Betabrand and Zappos.com kicked off the second annual Silicon Valley Fashion Week?!, bringing more tech to the fashion world than ever before. From drones to robots, LED clothing, wearable art and even bras, Silicon Valley is making its mark in fashion.
The event featured the unveiling of the "Smarthole Hoodie" by Pebble's Mark Solomon, human data-driven pieces by Switch Embassy's Alison Lewis, progressive headpiece fashion from Heidi Lee, and more. It was a madcap mash-up of the worlds of technology and style that couldn't happen anywhere else.
But if you missed the action last night, there are two more action packed nights to enjoy. Tonight will be the most photographed fashion show on earth in partnership with SmugMug.The runway will feature premiere bold, LED outfits from Pixeldelics, body art built on 3D scans from Threeform, and Senorsee gives us clothing that shows how you really feel. And Saturday will be the grand finale and costume contest. True Mania!
Betabrand CEO Chris Lindland encourages attendees to get ready for a show that is truly one of a kind, "All the insanity of the Internet hits the runway! The nucleus of the designs come from the Maker movement, wearable tech world, and Burning Man - all of which make amazing contributions to costuming and popular culture, but lack a runway to call their own. We built one for them."
