Fashion meets function

Many famous brands such as Rag & Bone and Michael Kors have started a new trend in fashion: fingerless gloves; they are seen in many runway shows and stores. The reason for such product is that people stopped buying and wearing gloves because we are all so used to multitasking that we need to use our fingers and its not easy to use them with normal gloves. Guess what? One of the tasks that we do most of the time is texting! Therefore, famous designers found a solution to this problem by designing fashionable, fingerless gloves. There are many types of gloves that are adapted for special use such as Harris Tweed gloves for men that thumb flings back so they can use their guns (it was for men using guns, or workers) or there are "biker gloves" that are for motorcycle users. Now, as constant texting is part of our thanks to Blackberry, "texter gloves" are invented! Fashion is adapting to new technology because technology is changing the way we live, and we need other parts of our lives to be adapted to that. Fashion is not just appearance anymore; more functions are added to it, just like new functions are added to new technologies all the time.
