PEOPLE ARE
TALKING
“Today, you
cannot be relevant
in fashion and
ignore technology.
The connection is
natural, seamless,
and powerful.”
“Any sufficiently
advanced
technology is
indistinguishable
from magic.”
Ware by Lorraine Sanders in
The Intelligence of Things
“I was raised to believe
that there are men,
women, and assholes.
All you can do is try to
avoid the assholes.”
– ARTHUR C. CLARKE,
as quoted by Josh Clark in
his keynote talk, ‘Magical
UX and the Internet of
Things’ (Twitter

–– ANNE E. WOJICKI, CEO

in Tech Helping or Hurting?”

“The consumer
is becoming her
own personal
stylist…It’s a
whole other
world.”

“By saying ‘forgo girly
things for things that will
get you interested in
engineering’ we’re saying
‘if you want to be girly, you
cannot also be a
technology creator, an
inventor, and a world
changer’. We’re teaching
girls to change who they
are in order to effect
change as an adult.”
--SARAH CHIPPS,
cofounder of Jewelbots,
as written in “Papas, Please Let
Your Babies Grow Up to Be
Princesses”, posted to Medium

FURSTENBERG, in Ready to
“Someone once told
me that if you are not
embarrassed by your
first prototype, you
are not testing early
enough.”
MOVERS & SHAKERS
“The future of fashion is a world
with no clothes…at least not clothes
in the traditional sense. Imagine
people being able to design custom
clothes to their exact specification
and style on their computer, tablet,
or phone, send the designs to a
hotel halfway around the world,
and then fly to that destination with
no suitcase. After arriving there,
they find all the clothes are 3D
printed in their closet. ”

Queen of Raw, in her post on the Third
