Cute Circuit are pushing the boundaries of fashion and technology, making technology more wearable and visually appealing. With the use of lighting in their garments, they create a wearable show piece. Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz are the pair behind the ground breaking creations.
Their aim is to create resonant, fashionable, visually and emotionally attractive designs.

Kinetic dress reactive to the mood and activities of the wearer. The dress is embedded with sensors that closely follow the form of the body, which capture the wearer's movements and interaction with others, which is then displayed via electroluminescent embroidery. This display changes depending on who is around the wearer. When the wearer is alone the dress remains a black dress, but when interacting with others or moving, the dress begins to light up and create moving patterns.

It's amazing what is so seemingly achievable wearable technology is these days, and this definitely shows that is bound to become something that everyone is eventually wearing in some way or another. The kinetic dress especially, is not a million miles away from my concept, and this idea shows that my concept could realistically be achieved in some way. If this kinetic dress is able to respond to activity and make patterns according to surroundings, a dress that reveals data doesn't sound so out there at all and is actually something that could become a reality in some form.
