SMART Textiles integrate electronics or responsive materials into fabrics, enabling them to sense, react, or communicate. From sportswear that monitors vital signs to military gear with adaptive camouflage, these fabrics merge fashion with function. They offer comfort, real-time data, and even energy harvesting. As technology shrinks, smart textiles promise revolutionary healthcare, safety, and lifestyle solutions—turning everyday clothing into intelligent, interactive companions. One of the key improvements will be the wearabilities.

During her last year of study, Lesia Trubat, a student at the École Supérieure de Design et d'Ingénierie de Barcelona and passionate about ballets, develops "E-traces" connected dance slippers for classical dancers.

Thanks to its sensors, the slipper gives information on the pressure exerted and the movement of the ballerina via an application. The ballerina can then change her position to improve her technique. 

 La passion!
