This book shows how to make wearable electronics, where tech and fashion combine. Social Body Lab Founding Director and OCAD University Associate Professor Kate Hartman teaches the concepts and techniques behind wearables electronics, from choosing the right materials for a project to explaining how components can be combined to create dynamic costumes and couture.

Projects include a futuristic textile that changes color when the International Space Station passes overhead, a jacket that senses and displays noise levels in loud environments, and sound-controlled LED jewelry worn on tour by Grammy-winning musician Imogen Heap.
