Erich Zainziger does consultancy, training and design of interactive fashion, e-textiles and wearable electronic. He’s also a blogger behind talk2myShirt dedicated to smart fabrics and wearable technology.
Because of his previous experience with Philips Company I wanted to interview him from the moment when I decided to cover the fields of wearables… Erich lives and works now in Philippines and runs his own wear tech company Elextile… Hence, let’s hear his thoughts on the wear tech scene…

E-learning: Electronic Embroidery
Time to learn some new skill in the fields of textile art and electronic geekery for girlz (boyz could jump in, too!)… Learning basics of Electronic Embroidery, LED Robot Embroidery and the usage of LilyPad Arduino with Becky Stern and Diana Eng is gonna be smooth and creative… very cool, geek-ish and chic at the same time…
