To coincide with the opening of London Fashion Week, Intel has become a patron of the British Fashion Council (BFC). The role and goal will see Intel work alongside, and connect, renowned British fashion designers and retailers to weave the latest smart products into garments, designs, accessories and retail environments. The collaboration is yet another step in the path Intel has taken to bring the fashion and technology worlds closer together, creating an ecosystem of hardware and software developers that Intel has been instrumental in building for the last 40 years. Intel’s work with the BFC builds on existing collaborations with fashion brands and organisations such as the accessories brand Fossil; fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff; Swiss accessories maker TAG Heuer; international fashion design house and curator Opening Ceremony; retailer Barneys New York; and last week, designers at New York Fashion Week.
