Craig Lawrence was commissioned by Currys & PC World to design a dress made out of computer cables. The dress was hand knitted using 500m of Sandstrom HDMI cables. As part of my trend forecast I feel that technology is going to become more and more integral in our lives, and probably going to become something that is more and more involved in our clothing. Even though this dress isn't live, imagine if it was, and this dress was a wearable computer. If all future technological fashion could be as interesting as this piece, I'm sure it would take off in the future.
Craig Lawrence commented: “This has been a challenging but enjoyable project to work on. The Sandstrøm cables used to create this piece have really given the dress its natural, voluminous, structural form. Its texturised, multi-faceted exterior allows the finished piece to capture light in a way that isn’t too dissimilar to the reflective surface of sequins, while the multi-coloured wires encased in the cabling itself have been split up to add colour and depth to the overall dress.”
