Abstract :
Recently, the wearable computing technologies keep empowering a variety of fashion items. Each wearable fashion item is attractive and providing quite new possibilities in terms of new computing devices. However, the conceptual model that supports fashionable coordination among those items is not proposed yet. To address this problem, we present a coordination model for wearable fashion by utilizing the conceptual model of analog synthesizers. We show some behavior styles and these description method with schematic block diagram. A set of prototyping clothing based on the model is also presented for estimations.
