In Oaxaca I saw a really interesting exhibit at the Textile Museum. The exhibit combined technology with fashion. I was struck by the modern exhibit, as it clearly did not correspond to the fashion outside the museum’s walls.
My favorite piece in the exhibit was a white linen dress with an embroidered keyboard on the chest. Next to the dress was an Ipad opened to an App of a keyboard. When you wrote your name or whatever word you wanted, it would then light up on the dress. It was awesome!
Another favorite, was a dress that looked almost water colored of a cloudy sky. On the bottom of the dress near the hem, lights would go off to resemble lightening in the sky. Very beautiful!
I’m not sure how wearable these outfits would be, but it definitely created a commentary on fashion and technology. The exhibit made me question what the future of fashion will be.
