Cutting Edge Fashion

Picture: Style.com

Fashion designer Hussein Chalayan showed to the world the absolute bleeding, cutting edge of fashion at his Spring/Summer 2007 Fashion Show.

For the show Chalayan used animatronics technology to "morph" clothes from one fashion to another. Concept art:

Long dresses morphs to short miniskirts, dresses transforms into hats, automatic zippers and many more.

1. Watch the video, and prepare to be utterly gobsmacked impressed: Full length video [nudity warning]. The animatronics part comes towards the middle to end of the video so please be patient.

Seriously, the technology is absolutely AMAZING and the video is not to be missed. I look forward to buying shirts that button themselves, a jacket that could transform into a t-shirt, a cap that could morph into a pair of sports shoes and wearing the same shirt for a week (the shirt would change fashion every day).
