I was sent this YouTube link by Joshua. I won’t embed it because of my columned formatting here, but I cannot recommend strongly enough that you click through and watch it.
I don’t know what this technology is (when I asked Joshua if he knew his answer was “wizards”).
I’ll skip the extended commentary on how obviously the first use of futuristic tech in clothing is to transform women from victorian-modest to nearly (or completely) naked. You can think about the exhibition at your leisure. But you should watch the video ASAP. And tell me what’s going on.
The future is now!

Hey, that was cool! A couple of those designs could even be worn by real people at real events. “Oh, no! I forgot to recharge my dress!”

I know, isn’t it awesome? I was SO surprised when I started watching that video. I did not expect any of what I saw!

My clothes do that everytime I forget to use a dryer sheet.

You must be a hit at parties!
I’m a little distraught at the way the animation of the clothes seems to happen at the expense of a conspicuous inanimaination of the women wearing them…

Yeah, and the fact that such neat technology is used first and foremost to remove women’s clothing also struck me immediately. But I had to try and overlook both of those things because the technology itself seems amazing! The fact that it’s on a catwalk is probably not the most ideal place to encounter it though.
