The Milan Design Fair, the largest confab of its kind in the world with more than 2,600 participants, wrapped up over the weekend. As usual, loads of great design overflowed at venues all over Italy’s fashion capital.
Turkish fashion design Hussein Chalayan continues to wow with his elaborate computer-controlled morphing dresses. He unveiled a video dress in Milan, which displays a time-lapse sequence of a rose opening and closing with the help of 15,000 LEDs that are embedded in the fabric.
Check out his interview over at Technology Review as well as a great runway demonstration of his shape-shifting dresses from last fall’s summer/spring 2007 show in Paris.
