A day in the life of Sandra Lopez, Intel’s fashion technologist

As Intel’s fashion technologist, Sandra Lopez is at the forefront of the company’s growing fashion partnerships.

Since hiring Lopez in January 2014, Intel has positioned itself to be at the forefront of the budding wearable industry, debuting a wearable chip module called the Curie last year as a way to embed clothing with a data server. The chipmaker also built a network of partnerships with fashion brands. At Paris Fashion Week this season, Intel worked with designer Hussein Chalayan for a collection of Curie-enabled accessories that could sense stress. Before that, Intel pulled together partnerships with Chromat, Parsons School of Design, and the Council of Fashion Designers of American.
