Third Wave Fashion // OCTOBER 2013 // THE PRIVACY ISSUE | Page 4

WE ALL LOVE the frothiness of fashion: the sparkling hues, the ravishing couture, and the constant swirl of the beautiful. But that doesn’t mean that we’re not all deep thinkers as well. Beneath the lacquered veneer of la mode is a huge industry that wields real power. In this issue of your monthly Fashion Tech Report –  and just in time for the spookiest time of the year –  we explore some of the darker aspects of technology: consumer privacy, the implications of big data, the idea of The Singularity, and some of the secret places that wearable tech is taking us. Consider this issue your journey to the darker sides of fashion tech. Not to worry, though: we still packed this issue full of all of the news and information from the world of fashion tech that you have come to expect from us. Last month was a fascinating one. See you on the dark side! XO, & THE THIRD WAVE FASHION TEAM LIZA
