Janus Geminus Menswear Tech Show

Mission:Creating a lifestyle platform and solution for two evolving cultures, menswear and wearable technology, to eventually create the next evolution of fashion and technology.

Focus: Success is where opportunity meets execution. Recently the surge of popularity in Men’s wear has created sort of fashion renaissance. Janus Geminus provides a solution to the gap between interest ,creation and exhibition for the latest in technology and in men’s styles. Janus Geminus Menswear Tech show was designed to create a platform that will focus on the most abstract to the most masculine trends in Men’s Wear.

There are so many creative nuances in men’s fashion as well as wearable technology we feel the combination of both needed to be further explored. According to “Wired.Co.UK” wearable technology has the potential to meet $50 billion over the next several years, but the need for it to be affordable and merge with the fashion industry is contingent for this growth to happen. Janus Geminus Menswear Tech Show is providing the gateway for this growth as fashion brands continue to develop and wearable technology brands become more advanced.
