MIT Wearables Show: Be There or B[] :: SEAMLESS

seamless is a fashion event featuring innovative and experimental works in computational apparel design, interactive clothing, and technology-based fashion. each project [re]interprets the conceptual goal of a seamless relationship between technology and fashion. these are real clothes that inspire and provoke. In short, this was the first student run wearables fashion show at the Media lab. It was pretty good, with emphasis on the technology. There was participation from Parsons, RISD and ofcourse, the Media Lab (I especially liked the pump shoes by Amanda Parkes). Take a look at the some of the concepts. The demos were compelling because the feedback was instant. It was nice to run into Elise Co, who had designed the lumi bracelet... doesn't everyone love "tangible" light?
