Fashion and Technology

As we are looking at creating some sort of waterproof everyday coat I thought it would be a good idea to look at how fashion and technology work together to create something exciting and interesting. We thought briefly about having a coat that protects you from the rain but also changes in colour. So the heavier the rain the darker the colour, almost like a warning sign. If it was expected to rain a lot you would know before leaving the house by the change in colour.

Amy Winters- She creates garments that are sun and water reactive, she also creates pieces that are sound reactive too.  She is very influential when thinking about this change of colour.

The water-reactive ink disappears revealing the color underneath the dress whilst the sun-reactive ink turns the Rain-forest dress purple.


 This idea of changing colour can be done in a sophisticated manner and with the right equipment.
