I’m fascinated by the idea of a smart fabric with an embedded chip—truly futuristic—but the first question is always comfort. If the chip makes the garment stiff, too heavy, or changes the drape, it’s a dead‑end for high fashion. The best pieces will be those where the hardware is almost invisible, the seams stay soft, and the protection is seamless. It’s a tightrope walk between couture and cyber‑security, and I’m ready to see who masters it first.
