E-Textile
E-Textile is a type of fabric that has electronic parts like sensors or lights woven or printed into it, making clothing or accessories that can react to touch, movement, or even the environment. In fashion technology, E-Textiles can track body temperature, light up in patterns, or send information to a phone, all while looking and feeling like regular fabric. Designers use special threads that conduct electricity and tiny flexible chips that bend with the material, so the clothes stay comfortable. Some E-Textiles can even change color or shape when given a small electric signal, opening up new ways to create interactive fashion pieces that respond to the wearer or surroundings.
