Third Wave Fashion // SEPTEMBER 2013 // THE BIG SEPTEMBER ISSUE | Page 4

WELCOME BACK After a lovely summer, we’re so excited to dive back into the exploding world of fashion tech. On our horizon are fabulous new launches, exciting partnerships, and events galore. But, in the spirit of all great fashion-focused publications, we decided to go all out with our September issue. You’re about to enjoy a ton of extras: a massive movers and shakers section (meet 48 fantastic fashion tech talents), our very own Spend or Splurge? section (wearable tech, naturally) and, in the spirit of back-to-school, we looked at some of the amazing new fashion tech courses now being offered out there. Last month, Vogue did an editorial spread on Google Glass and Pinterest launched a #NYFW portal. Everyone’s getting in on the game: but we’re proud and excited to still be the only fashion tech focused publication out there. As always, we tracked every important bit of fashion tech news and every dollar of the $56.45M invested last month, which you’ll find inside. As you’ve also come to count on, we bring you new trends, great tools, words to use (and stop using), and trends to watch. XO, & THE THIRD WAVE FASHION TEAM LIZA
