this really interesting dress was designed by Phillips as part of their SKIN line of emotive clothing, in other words clothes that show our emotions through them. Phillips has designed this dress for the future, they believe that in roughly 2020 people will be wearing clothes that have sensors in them which are able to pick up on our emotions and therefore display them through colours on the dress. clam emotions would be displayed as blues and greens or soothing colours whereas not so calm emotions would be displayed as reds and oranges.
this beautiful dress won Time's Invention of the Year in 2008. however i would be interested to see whether in 2020 people will really be wearing clothes that allow everyone to read their emotions or whether this will be too personal for some. i guess we will just have to wait 10 years and see.
