  This is an anemic example of what designers have stooped to;showing malnourished models who are poor examples of what human populice is today;What makes them think these girls represent a normal population in any but a country which is starving for nutrition??The show was an absolute abomination of normalcy in America and Europe.They should be prosecuted for child abuse!!Not only was the show a flop,it had no real music or substance except in the distorted minds of those in the fashion industry.Where do they sell these abominations other than in the sick group who follows them??

It's about technology - the music suggests that too, in case you don't get it. I liked the dress with the embedded solar panels. Touch that girl and you get electrocuted, ha-ha-ha!:) Rate this comment: (Reply)

On behalf of so very many guys out there who are sick of watching women trying to dance in their evening gowns, WELL DONE ! dLookDating.com.au Rate this comment: (Reply)

  Rachel Ross’s article, “Transforming Clothing” highlighted the interesting concept of Turkish fashion designer, Hussein Chalayan, who created (using wires and electric motors) transformational clothing and debuted his new style in a Paris Fashion show this month. Even though I enjoy fashion, I would have liked the article to mention some practical applications which would be more advantageous to the general public, although less ascetically appealing. Possibly something like a therapeutic suit for patents with certain muscular conditions which could be adjusted dynamically to the patient’s needs, or even a dynamic eye catching store manikin to advertise the newest fall fashions. www.techrd.com   Thank you    Brian Glassman       West Lafayette, Indiana Rate this comment: (Reply)

  I find it unfortunate that such devices, which could be used for nobler purposes are being used to help women wear two outfits at the same time, to say nothing of the unimaginative ways that they were used (the zipper was nice, but the others could have been pushed farther). Hopefully this will expand the understanding of what tech-accessories are capable of, and used to help people who could really use it, children in need of prosthetics and so forth!
