All I Want For Christmas...

All I Want For Christmas... The 'SEE AND BUY' TECH SHOPPING GUIDE POWERED BY FASHNERD.COM

Editor's Letter

The industry insiders, influencers and makers have spoken. They have shared with the FashNerd team the tech products that they simply must have this Holiday season and we are not talking iPad covers!

From Wisewear to Emel + Aris, our choices of what wearable technology, we can indulge in has grown beyond just another a fitness tracker. That being said should you still yearn for a fashionable fitness wearable there is one that actually speaks to our sense of style- hello Amazfit.

As you glide through THE GUIDE, we connect you with designers, makers and publishers, key to the fashion tech revolution. The 'All I Want For Christmas' shoppable guide is all about opening up the small fashion tech world to the early adopters, the curious, the geek chic and everyone in between. We have taken pride in compiling a list of must haves that you can easily buy now, pre-order or learn more about. There is something for everyone.

As the merge of Fashion and Technology promises to compliment our wardrobe favourites, the question now is are you more Maddy Maxey or Billie Whitehouse? Happy Shopping!
