Fashion and technology have, for far too long, gone addressed separately, as distinct things.

A merge, no different than Eth, must take place.

living in my era of unknowns, "world builder"

i once saw a company trying to incorporate their customers in the creative process of clothing / other retail goods

do you think this could work well?

or would it result in some undifferentiated / average product?

There will unquestionably be average products but that’s not different than now.

The question would be can someone leverage that network in a way that creates a differentiated product, if yes, than it’s valuable enough to work, now can the right person building the right product comes next.

I’ve been experimenting with that idea.

My ~learnings have been:

-designers always have final say
-customers must have sliding windows to contribute, not explicit mandates
-reputation must be the factor over long term

My theory is this allows the right tension to exist for building value.
