Haute couture is really not my bag—I dress in whatever happens to be at the top of the clothes drawer, but Ny Teknik brought the fashion guru Hussein Chalayan to my attention. His Spring/Summer collection for 2007 contained several sets of animated dresses, i e they are equipped with motors, batteries and effectors so they can reshape themselves. Just watch:
Now, once you get more power in the system, so the transformations can be done faster and you add a bit of intelligence to the system so that it can react to the environment, then we're gonna be going places!
Also, looking at the entire event, who on Earth created that soundtrack? The models certainly don't look too happy either. The Clockwork Orange music in the background suggests the Ludovico treatment in action…

alltså jag tänker KORTIS när jag hör hand wash... (var sitter batteriet?)
jag har suttit hemma idag eftersom min tfn ringer så det glöder. mäklare ringer ofta, mycket och gärna.
Kraftpaketet uppges sitta på stussen som en liten turnyr. Jo, man får nog se till att isolera duktigt om man ska kunna ha såna här kläder mer än en gång.

Se till att ha tummen (eller möjligen en snigel) i ögat på mäklarn!
