One work I found really inspirational this week is Anouk Wipprecht’s fashion design. She focuses on “Fashion-Tech”, which is a combination of fashion design with engineering and computational technology. And one interesting point about her work is that fashion is not only providing a visual and tactile experience to people, her work embedded artificial intelligence and projected as a ‘host’ system on the human body. Her design has body sensors that check the user’s stress levels and comfort levels.
I specifically admire her “Spider Dress” design. This project successfully connects the human body with technology. Some part of the collar extrudes out just like a spider, and the body part design uses plastic as materials, creating a futuristic weave pattern that cannot be achieved by traditional fashion techniques. Besides, there are sensors and moveable arms to create a boundary of personal space. These embedded sensors might play an important role in future technology development, creating an exciting transformation in how people communicate with others and with the environment.
