Founder of the 360Fashion Network, Anina Net has come up with a solution that could inevitably play a role in helping build a bridge between fashion and technology. Her solution is the innovative 360Fash Tech Kit, a kit perfect for designers who want to eradicate the need to code.
The 360Fash Tech Kit is all about making intelligent design decisions using out-of-the box solutions that focus on integrating and creating smart garments and accessories without having to touch a single line of code. Since the announcement, 360Fashion have launched 10 kits that are comprised of ready-made materials, drag and drop visual software, Intel Edison, Intel curie, 3D Print and STL files and online tutorials.
