055 – Francesca Rosella of CuteCircuit – Gold Plated Hugs

Fashion and technology are having a moment, and it's not just us noticing. Museums—those vaults of history and culture—are clearly paying attention to the impact of technology on fashion. On today's episode, Amanda Cosco speaks with Michelle Finamore, Senior Curator of 20th and 21st century fashion arts at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, to learn about #TextStyle, their newly opened exhibit exploring the relationship between fashion and technology. Then stay tuned— later on the show we catch up with Francesca Rosella, Creative Director of wearable couture company CuteCircuit. The MFA Boston commissioned CuteCircuit to create a special piece just for the exhibit. Rosella shares her thoughts on fashion tech—in the museum, on the runway, and in the streets.
