Fashion goes hi-tech
Permalink | October 12th, 2006Fashion gets a hi-tech makeover by designer Hussein Chalayan. During Paris Fashion Week Chalayan introduced a collection of clothing that had the ability to re-design itself using embedded animatronics. With the help of the team who made the hippogriff in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chalayan’s creations morphed, moved, and shifted themselves around the wearer, changing the shape, neckline, and hem of the clothing. One of the pieces even completely retreated from a dress to a frilly hat leaving the model completely naked. But naked is fine, because this is fashion.
