textile and functionability. design is classic will sell ald.

innovation may come from functionality, like multipurpose wear

i would really LOVE a piece of clothing that can adjust its thickness wherever i am. Outside hot : thin, Inside cold : thick. So at least i wont look like an winter idiot when i"m outside

form & function, eg. the suit of a swimmer.

b13ssedbe: that's quite clever, like the auto darkening shades

the thin/thick contradiction is actually solved in a different way to deliver the function of keeping you warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. See Adidas Climacool

yes, but what Bee is more emphasising is how it looks while doing that

ah... aesthetics and functionality

another nice contradiction to solve

i really like those cargo pants that can unzip and it becomes shorter/longer but seriously it'll look damn awkward on a girl and the edges on the zipper is gonna kill me

errr... most of adidas stuff is like for sports... im looking at a office/casual wear approach

b13ssedbe: lu kasut juga tau. Climacool was in Jerseys long time before it became kasut

what i'm saying is, the technology is there, its not been adapted for like what you said la, formal/casual wear

sorry, i google image before going into their site hence comment removed

it was showing only shoes

cheh LOL

think of it like... those glasses that can go darker or lighter when it hits the light

yeah. But physically thickening clothes has its own set of contradictions to solve as well

b13ssedbe: that's what i said lar

sry, england tak powderful sangat

glasses r called polarizer if i'm not mistaken.

actually they're called photochromic lenses

magic glasses

PaulDavid, example of swimsuit design. Speedo launches LZR RACER

the material is called photochromic lense but not glasses as we wear, right?

they embed the photochromic material into the glass or polycarbonate. You can then cut it to make specs lenses or use it for other uses

thats what I've seen so far la

okie cos i only heard the term polarizer glasses or polarized glasses from the ppl i know.

its actually not the same thing. the polarization created a permanent dark glass/lens while the photochromic process is able to change opacity according to light input

oh, okie

I'd like something like heattech from Uniqlo, but instead of it keeping me just warm or just cool, I'd want it to do both.

alternatively, something that would be able to detect sunlight levels or lack thereof and adjust the hue of the dress/top to match

so maybe a deep purple top in the morning for the office. then a funky, bright, in your face purple/red/shades of purple top at night for clubbing or dinner.

better yet, can I just have the hologram clothes from Psycho Pass?
