@article{2017,title={ILLUMINATED SMART CLOTHES AND FASHION},abstractNode={Fashion is a dynamic concept that is triggered by social, cultural, economic, political, and psychological and technological factors. Developing technology has increased competition in fashion sector. The use of new technologies is crucial in the fashion industry in order to be able to take place in the sector and leaving the competitors behind. In this respect, the fashion designer should be original, able to closely follow new technology and materials. Technical and smart textiles, which are used primarily for technical, medical or military purposes, are now being preferred by famous fashion designers. Technical textiles, briefly, are textiles used for functions (seat belts, flammable fabrics, etc.). Smart textiles are produced as a result of interdisciplinary studies covering a wide range of fields like electrical and electronics engineering, computer engineering, medicine. Smart textiles have the ability that can perceive any effects or can react perceived effects. Increase in material technologies and production of materials in micro dimensions have increased the use of smart clothing. There is a great interest in smart clothes by world-famous fashion designers and companies. The smart clothes mentioned as the clothes of the future have begun to be used in social areas such as stage performances, galleries, invitations and parties. The aim of this study is; to examine the smart clothes which have lighting effect and grouping them according to smart classification and examining materials and methods used in these clothes. In the study, analytical forms which developed by researchers were used for illuminated smart clothes were designed by world famous fashion designers, brands or companies. By using analysis forms, according to smart classifications of clothes, the materials and methods used were explained by using the Crosstab. As a result; it has been observed that the use of LEDs is widespread at illuminated clothes. It is observed that sensors (biosensors, motion sensors, etc.) are widely used among the methods that provide illumination in clothes.},author={Merve BALKIŞ-- Saliha AĞAÇ},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
