Abstract
Technological development has brought many changes to our lives, not only in the different way we live our daily lives but also in our way of dreaming and seeing the future.
The textile companies that produce intelligent fabrics and nanotechnology with its interactivity make us live and feel different. The radical changes of this millennium have also influenced the way in which fashion designers create their clothes or their creations. The same also applies to architects, who see textile materials as a way to recreate living spaces or even create temporary spaces with a flexible material, which can create a temporary home which also reduces costs.
If well before the technological era, clothes were created to have a communication code, or a way to stand out in society, now this is not enough, clothes are created above all to have their own echo personality, which also makes us stand out . The discovery of chemical fibers has profoundly modified the traditional conception of designing fabrics. The fundamental properties of cotton and wool are immutable, static. It is the technology of the spinner, the weaver, the textile ennobler that must adapt to this changeability by trying to create something new. Chemical fibers and their polymers, on the other hand, can be produced with properties tailored to each specific need. It can be said that until yesterday fabrics were manufactured and processed; today they are designed with precise purposes at a structural level. Matter becomes ‘intellectualized’, the terms ‘material’ and ‘invention’ overlap. For this reason, all the companies that produce and experiment with new textile materials have and will have a great influence on the creations that will come because the fabric already comes out of the company with its own functionality, it is that functionality, it is that functionality, it is that it is functionality, it is that functionality.
