Trend Findings, Technology




Julia Krantz - Shell collection - Swedish fashion designer - translucent fabric over lightweight frame. 

I think that the possibilities with this technology are limitless. They are so beautiful, angelic and futuristic. 



Studio Roosergaarde collaborate with V2 Institute for Unstable Media, Intimacy is a collection of clothing made with plastic e-foil that can alter between transparent and translucent states, depending on the strength of electric current passed through the material. 

This is more like performance art than clothing. It's a showpiece and reminds me of work by Hussein Chalayan. A whole new genre of fashion is opening up to new designers, it lives, moves, changes with the body and gives a dynamic to clothing that I know is going to be part of our future.
