This paper presents a design workshop that explores the future of fashionable wearable technology focusing on aesthetics. The results of the workshop include four fashion design concepts and the implications emerged from the discussions on each concept during the workshop. These implications open up new design space of technologies and materials that account for aesthetics beyond traditional fabric, i.e. transparency, scale, irregularity, movement, contextual expressions and fashion intelligence.
