Intelligent Fashion, containing technology that can measure your health, and is still sustainable. My shirt keeps track of my heartbeat and respiration. So I can be more effective. I know there is a lot of technology in there, but I don’t feel it. The sensors are seamlessly laminated onto the fabric. It’s very comfortable.

It’s beneficial to wear these clothes on a daily basis, because they check my well-being and stress level. The lease and recycle system is a closed loop. I don’t have to worry about what to do when the garment has no use for me anymore. The technology will be de-laminated from the shirt, and recycled. It sounds like a dream of the future but it’s right here and we are wearing it.

The smart shirts continuously measures the ladies’ key vital signals based on Holst Centre’s advanced printed sensor technologies on flexible substrates for textile integration. The laminated sensors are truly wearable, comfortable, robust, invisible during use, washable up to 25 cycles, and designed for unobtrusive integration in conventional fashion production.
