Schmidt Takahashi


"At Schmidt Takahashi the history of every piece recycled in the collections is as important as the resulting new garment. Information of each item is IDed by previous historym color, material and style—all meticulously catalogued. The information is duly stored on RFID chips and emedded into new garments. The chips can be easily scanned, read and updated using a smartphone, so the new wearer is able to not only unlock the garment's history, but also to contribute to its ongoing narrative" (Thames and Hudson). HOW COOL IS THAT??
