Wear This Shirt For 100 Days, No Washing Necessary

by on April 30, 2013

shirt

How many times would you feel comfortable wearing the same dress shirt without giving it a good wash? According to Wool & Prince, if you wear one of their shirts then you’ve got about 100 days. The shirts feature a finely woven wool thread that makes them resistant to odor while maintaining the look and feel of a traditional cotton dress shirt. There’s no need to dry clean and you won’t need to worry about wrinkles.

Their kickstarter is fully funded and still has 22 days to go, so you have plenty of time to make the $98 minimum pledge and snag one of these when they ship around December.

When I say creepy, I mean in a good way. Mainly because fashion designer and GoT fan Hogan McLaughlin has managed to capture so much of what went on in season 2 and channel them into these drawings.

Transforming Dresses Look Straight Out Of The Future [Video]

by on March 4, 2013

This line of dresses by Hussein Chalayan debuted at Paris Fashion Week and it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Just one tug a the neck and they transform into entirely different dresses. This is how all clothing should work—and someday, in the far distant future, I imagine that we’ll just need one set of clothes that morphs to fit any occasion.

I can’t see anyone wearing these out and about doing grocery shopping, but they would be just incredible as a part of some My Little Pony cosplay. They’re custom made by Etsy seller Oonacat to your exact specifications. Each pair of hooves is handcast and sculpted from urethane and then adhered to the boot. You can even pick a different style or color of boots that you choose and ship them off to be turned into unicorn hooves.

Grad Student Built a Real Spidey-Sense Suit

by on February 25, 2013

Spidey Suit

We all know Spider-Man has impressive superpowers, and his costume is built to maximize his skills. Computer science grad student Victor Mateevitsi took inspiraton from the superhero and created a suit that embodies Spidey-Sense.

The suit, which is actually called “SpiderSense”, enables you to feel whether objects or people are close by. In other words, it allows the wearer to navigate with his or her eyes closed. Neat and useful. Here’s how it works according to Discovery.com:

The suit is composed of small, robotic arms encased in microphone-equipped modules attached to one’s body. The mics send out and receive ultrasonic reflections from objects within one’s environment. If the ultrasound detects a person or thing moving closer to the mic, the robotic arms respond by putting pressure on the corresponding body section from wherever the “threat” is coming.

Mateevitsi thinks his design can help cyclists be more aware while navigating through traffic, and he hopes it will be helpful for visually impaired people. Spider-Man would approve.

Everyday Attire Designs For Extraordinary Superheroes

by on February 11, 2013

Katrina Navarro loves comics, superheroes, and fashion. She combined her passions with these fantastic everyday outfit designs. I think these looks are a happy medium between wearing a full costume with the cape and tights and wearing a geeky t-shirt. Her outfits take the overall look and colors of various heroes and villains like Wonder Woman and Supergirl and make them comfortable and perfect for wearing just about anywhere.

Navarro said:

I soon started drawing up fashion sketches based off specific Superheroes and Villains with keeping things in mind: Clothes that a person can find in their closet or easily at a store with some to no alterations. When I have trouble finding a type of clothing that could work, I often scour magazines and online clothing stores for items.

I draw these sketches for fun of course, but I also draw these to share with people who also have a love for comics and fashion. The Superhero inspi sketches are for people to refer to just in case they want to closet cosplay as their favorite Superhero for the day. You don’t even have to totally replicate the clothing in the designs. It can simply be referenced, altered, switched, or whatever they like. That’s why I try to mention optional clothing that could also work in case someone doesn’t want to wear a skirt or heels.

‘Intimacy 2.0′ Dress Turns Transparent When You’re Turned On [Video]

by on February 8, 2013

The Infinity 2.0 dress is truly one-of-a-kind, and not just because of its totally futuristic design or its revealing nature. In fact, the dress gives away more than just its wearer’s cleavage. It also reveals when she’s feeling turned on and aroused, not just to her date but to the whole world. How? By turning transparent.

In between the dress’s leather ribbons are opaque ‘e-foils’ that are wired to detect the wearer’s heartbeat. The faster it beats, the more transparent the dress gets. Talk about not being very sublte.

You can hit the break for a video featuring the Intimacy 2.0 dress.

These Purses Will Trap Your Fingers, Literally

by on February 7, 2013

Remember Chinese finger trap puzzles from your childhood? They’re the puzzles you stick your finger in and can’t easily get out of. Designer James Piatt has taken the concept to fashion and included it in a line of purses. Instead of using a traditional strap to carry your bag, you just shove your fingers into the attached traps. If that doesn’t seem secure or just makes you feel weird, you can choose to use a removable strap.

The finger trap purse is available in full and miniature sizes.

Check out close-ups of the purses after the break.
