The increasement of needs upon gadgets and electronical devices in supporting <br /> <br /> daily activites has been a phenomenon. Technology has grown rapidly over the <br /> <br /> years with the role of energy empowerment. With the empowerment displayed, <br /> <br /> humans continue to be driven to achieve their best potential in the most effiecient <br /> <br /> way possible. But with the increasment of energy consumption, the worlds oil <br /> <br /> resources will reach its limit at a certain point. At the other hand, energy harvesting <br /> <br /> is believed to be a solution in fullfilling the needs of limitless alternative energy <br /> <br /> resources. In designing fashion products by uttilizing energy harvesting devices <br /> <br /> such as piezoelectrics is intended to be a first step in reaching promising <br /> <br /> developments of fashion technology in Indonesia. This exploration attempt is a form <br /> <br /> of effort in pushing the awareness upon energy harvesting as an increase of <br /> <br /> efficiency in energy empowerment. Fashion product needs as a support in activity <br /> <br /> enhancement is then combined with the trend of lifestyle. The establishment of <br /> <br /> aimed fashion product design comes in a form of bags. It is based on the tendency <br /> <br /> of the majority of society who has the needs in posessing a bag as an accessory as <br /> <br /> well as a functional object in supporting ones daily activity. The theme applied to <br /> <br /> this design process stands as a fashion product where the concept between design <br /> <br /> and technology takes part in lifestyle development.
