At the Met Ball held earlier this month in New York, singer and songwriter Katy Perry walked the red carpet in a gown made from silk chiffon and over 3000 glowing LEDs that changed color from blue to pink to yellow to green. Created by London-based firm CuteCircuit, Perry’s gown assured her a lot of publicity. But the coming integration of fashion and technology is about more than making a visual statement.
While the cream of New York’s high society sashayed past in couture creations by Valentino and Oscar de la Renta, the irony was not lost on the pop star, who was quoted as saying: “Fashion can be a little stuffy, so I wanted to lighten up.”
If this is where our technology is headed, i wouldn't mind seeing clothes having personal heaters in them as well. Maybe Lady Gaga's designer will come up with it.. There's nothing that lady couldn't ask for.
