Shape changing textiles: a sustainable fashion revolution?

More and more companies, designers, and professionals in the textile and fashion sector are focusing on the development of innovative materials. In Shape-Changing Textiles, a researchproject of the ArtEZ Fashion professorship, researchers Pauline van Dongen and Anna Jos Wetzel delved into the potential of shape changing textiles. What is the future of these unique types of textiles? And do these 'shape-changing textiles' promote sustainable behaviour? The researchers share insights into this special type of textile and their findings. About research at ArtEZ Research at ArtEZ is defined by who we are – as individuals, and as a collective.
