Will.i.am is one of my favorite artists, not only because he is an excellent musician but also because he is a pioneer when it comes to technology and innovation.
This technology advocate perceived a gap between fashion and technology and this drove him to pursue a new project. He created i.am+, a company which focuses in connecting design and functionality using the integration of fashion and wearable technology.
