Famous fashion designer Hussein Chalayan has showed off his new designs.
The unbelievable feature of these dresses is that they can get transformed. The technology behind the clothes has been provided with an engineering firm called 2D3D.
The show hosted dresses that have a moving neckline, can become more revealing and dresses that can zip and unzip themselves in a variety of ways.
The director of 2D3D commented that:
Basically, the dresses were driven electronically by controlled, geared motors. We made... little pads for the models... within these containers we had all the battery packs, controlling chips–the microcontrollers and microswitches–and little geared motors. The motors we used were tiny, about a third of the size of a pencil and nine millimeters in diameter. Each of the motors had a little pulley, and the pulley was then attached to this monofilament wire which was fed through hollow tubes... running everywhere, carrying these little cables, each doing its little job, lifting things up or releasing little linked metallic plates. There was a huge amount of stuff going on beneath the clothes.
The only drawback of these dresses is that they are highly sensitive and can change with a sudden movement of someone nearby. This means that if you are in an interview and wearing these clothes then there is a possibility that you end up getting a bit ashamed...!
