Design and Method: The research method is based on the focus of current/future technology and blueprints of the fashion industry and how their collaboration is becoming a steppingstone in the new decade of 2020s. It is being broken down through brand new college courses based on fashion technology involving 3d printed clothing, digital changing rooms through your mobile shopping apps, major fashion companies like Vogue getting involved in trends and how it will benefit their goals, how COVID-19 anticipated the fashion industry and the rest of the world to do more, etc. All of the research is current and the oldest being only a couple of years old there is more research to come from this so the real question is: Will the collaboration of fashion and technology bring out what type of result?

The list is endless for what is to come since we are in the very beginning of this new phase in the fashion industry.
