Recently, we at Third Wave Fashion dreamed up the Experts’ Wisdom Series. It’s an end of the year, three-day tell-all surrounding business, social media, companies’ bottom lines and where business owners —like you— see themselves in 2013. This is Part III of our journey into the outlook and expertise of a select group of innovators we chose to feature.
As we bring this series to a close we wanted to make sure that we concluded with a bang! Because of this, we considered that the most fitting person to share insight would be Liza Kindred, Founder of Third Wave Fashion. Third Wave Fashion’s a distinctive business built on the backs of Liza and a small, dedicated and talented group of people. In 2011, Third Wave Fashion set out to strategize, consult with, fortify, and connect entrepreneurs and businesses in order to ensure the growth of fashion tech startups around the world.

We searched long and hard for just the right group of innovators to feature and we decided to kick things off with the ladies of Of a Kind. read more »
Anyone who saw The Social Network or knows the story of the drama behind Facebook, will recognize the Winklevoss twins. They are the tall, blonde duo on the Harvard rowing team that challenged Mark Zuckerberg in court. Does that ring a bell? Well, now the All-American twins are making their debut into the world of fashion tech.
We love innovation and absolutely encourage it. However, lately we’re seeing an abundance of outrageous wearable technology. Some are really cool and can be used right nowlike the Adidas miCoach Monitor and Supernova Sports Bra (where you can monitor your heart rate on your iPhone or iPod while working out), and others are simply borderline fanciful.
Here’s a list of some innovations in wearable tech this year.

We announced the launch of Lacquerous, the “Netflix for Nails,” just a few short weeks ago, and since that time it’s been a whirlwind! We’re deep into the fund-raising process for the company, and we wanted to share some of the amazing press that we’ve had:
