Di Mainstone talk

Di Mainstone, interactive fashion designer, gave a presentation about fashion that playfully explores human behaviour with woven soft-technologies into a fashion aesthetic.

• She designed a dress that can pick up on gestures,
  
• Outfits that are embedded with sensors to send messages through clothes

Her inspiration for this project - 

• what could nitinol, the material, do?
  
• re-defining the silhouette/figure
  
• stories - using narratives
  
• architecture for inspiration.
