Technology in Fashion | April Edit

This month we asked Zoltan Csaki, co-founder of Citizen Wolf, a t-shirt brand using technology to automate the process of tailoring, to list out a few must reads for those looking to stay on the forefront of the technology wave.

Here is a short list of what Zoltan and the team at Citizen Wolf have been reading this month!
