Share You Mood With These New Clothes
Your emotions are closely linked with your moods. Suppose your clothes were able to reflect your mood, it would make social interactions a lot easier. Anouk Wipprecht is a Dutch designer who has come up with the ultimate fashion statement. Clothes that can beam your feelings for the world to see.
Her clothes combine digital technology with haute couture. In essence the built in sensors of the clothing is able to track and blink in time with the heartbeat of the person wearing it. Quite literally showcasing your heartbeat and it’s underlying emotion. It’s like a fashion accessory with a medical attachment.
If you get angry and your heart races, you can’t maintain the cool facade with your clothes blinking rapidly. If you have a crush on someone, and they come close to talk with you, your hastened heartbeat will reflect in the blinking of your clothing. Think of all the situations and moods that can get your heart racing, now imagine everyone seeing your heart racing thanks to your clothes.
Anouk wants the clothes to do away with our deepest deceptions. She wants us to interact as honestly as possible. Her designs were shown in the sidelines of the Milan Fashion Week. While this science project has amazingly combined a body function with stylish clothing, it’s not clear how many people would be comfortable broadcasting their mood through their clothing.
