Reason for choosing this article
I chose this article because I enjoy both fashion and technology. I thought it was really interesting that she is able to combine the two and has become very successful. I’ve seen color changing nail polishes and kitchenware, but I’ve never seen something change pattern. It reminds me of a chameleon.
Personal and Social Values at stake and ethical implications
Some people in the fashion world might be against combining fashion and technology. It might go against the core of what fashion is supposed to be. People like to know what their clothes are made out of and if it was made with something with a long, unknown name, they might not purchase it. Eng says, “I like to look at technology, math and science and how to integrate it into fashion designs.” Eng also says that she wants people to enjoy not only her fashions, but also the thinking behind the product. “I’m really interested in making people think differently about things…I feel like it’s really teaching people to look at materials that already exist and think about how it can change how we live our lives and how we can create.”
