As most of us know, fashion is not just clothing; in conversations about 
products, our usual starting point is their design and functionality. 
Following that, we take into account aspects like aesthetics and 
branding before purchasing them and adding them to our personal 
collection. In discussions about fashion, we tend to consider factors 
such as personal expression, current trends and societal implications. 
Throughout history, human civilization has witnessed a rich array of 
commodities serving as expressions of individualistic tastes, 
encompassing attire, footwear, accessories, and jewellery. In the 
contemporary era, with the rapid development of science and technology, 
intelligent wearable products such as digital watches, wristbands and 
eyewear have emerged. These not only enhance everyday practicality, but 
also incorporate personalized customization to cater to user preferences.


With increasing frequency, people use products as a form of fashion to 
display their social position and personal values. As human needs become 
more individualized and technologies like artificial intelligence and 3D 
printing continue to advance, it’s important to explore how to bring 
together product and fashion design to create novel and innovative 
solutions moving forward, and integrate the technologies used in both 
fields. This Special Issue of Fashion, Style & Popular Culture invites 
writers to explore the evolution of products as fashion in the history 
of human civilization, within the context of various cultures, 
ethnicities and geographical locations, as well as consumer identities 
and future trends.
