I found this article on The Onion (a made up satirical news site, for anyone who is unfamiliar with it), it is hilarious! I’m not going to say much because I want everyone to check out this article, plus there are more funny pictures that you won’t want to miss.

This garment called “Hidden” by the fashion design collaboration High Tea with Mrs. Woo, incorporates pockets that activate heat when the hands are placed in the pockets and the decorative cuffs come into contact with the pocket lining. The materials in this garment include cotton, silk, polyester, conductive thread, nylon ripstop, copper PVC, hook and wire, and rechargeable battery.
Other than this piece, their work doesn’t seem to involve any wearable technology but it is worth checking out their site for fun and if you like fashion.

The Taiknam Hat designed by Ricardo Nascimento, Ebru Kurbak and Fabiana Shizue, is a kinetic headpiece that responds to radio signals in the environment by moving its feathers. The intention is to visually communicate and raise awareness of the electromagnetic radiation which surrounds us and is a metaphor to express the human body’s irritation towards the waves. The effects of these waves have already been shown to cause disturbance among birds (which would also give reason for this idea being expressed through a feather hat).

I was looking into ways of harnessing solar energy other than using actual solar panels and happened to come across this – it’s embroidery thread that changes colour in the sun. It would be great to try this out using the embroidery machine! I think I’m going to order some, if anyone else is interested, maybe we can order some together…
