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.

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.

Star Wars knows no bounds and limits. The franchise is appreciate by men, women, and children of all ages, nationalities, and occupations. The female fans of Star Wars are especially expressive regarding their appreciation for the franchise, which has resulted in the creation of themed clothing that’s just perfect for the ultimate fan–like this full-skirt dress.
The dress is kind of like oxymoron in itself, because it gives off this preppy vibe while being edgy because of the print at the same time. The panels on the dress feature the Star Wars logo along with notable characters from the series, including Darth Vader and R2D2, while the whole thing is accentuated by white piping to accentuate the curves and edges.

This robotic spider dress by designer Anouk Wipprecht and programmer Daniel Schatzmayr is probably the coolest but creepiest dress that I’ve seen in a long time. But the spider legs aren’t just for show. The mechanical arachnid legs that are attached on the straps actually move when movement is detected nearby.
If you want to avoid people or prevent anyone from getting close to you when you’re out, then this is the dress to wear. Hit the break for a video of the dress in action.
Fairy godmothers do fine work in a pinch, but they can’t quite match the magic weaved by designers such as Versace and Roberto Cavalli. It’s a different playing field when they’re involved, and thanks to Harrods, we get to see what Disney princesses look like when they are glammed up to the max.
The store paired with photographer Jason Ell to produce a series of the familiar princesses in the hottest dresses and accessories of the season. And by hottest, I mean the really expensive ones. The photos will be featured in the holiday edition of Harrods Magazine.

The November 7th Victoria’s Secret show in New York City was pretty much what you’d expect. There were lots of gorgeous models in nothing but their underwear – and one outfit that looked straight out of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Model Jourdan Dunn wore a body suit that looked just like the plugsuit worn by character Rei Ayanami. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber danced around the stage in the background. You’ve got to wonder who, exactly, though up this little bit of the show and if anyone in the audience caught the anime reference.

This shirt takes the idea of over-sharing to a whole new level. It works along with your iphone and let’s you decide what it will tell the world as you walk past. Display tweets, photos, messages, facebook updates, whatever information you choose. Currently this is a prototype, but if you want to see this produced in quantities that you can actually afford then share it and tweet it and if the company likes the response, then you may be wearing this one day.

It has to be challenging to come up with a dress or fashion design that has never been seen before. Victor Farentina has managed to do it though. He took inspiration from sites like YouTube, Google, Yahoo, MSN, and more and translated them to dress form. He used the colors from the sites or logos and developed that into beautiful, wearable art. It admittedly sounds like a bizarre idea, but it works! I’d be glad to wear any of these.
I wonder if we’ll see one or two of them at an award show in the near future.

In The Hunger Games, the Capitol is the shining pride of Panem. The residents of the city hold fashion in the highest regard. They cover themselves in intricate tattoos, undergo body modification, and even change the color of their skin. The nail polish line inspired by the Capitol was just the beginning; now there’s an entire fashion blog devoted to the style of Panem’s central city. Capitol Couture will be updated continuously leading up the March 23 premiere of the film, but right now you’ll find a profile on Effie Trinket (pictured above), popular shoes in the Capitol, and manicure tips from an official stylist.
Check out more pics after the break, including a Capitol stylist’s guide to beautiful nails.

Gunn recently talked with geeky actress Jennifer Ewing and comic book historian Alan Kistler on Crazy Sexy Geeks about some of the uniforms in Star Trek: The Original Series. Hilarity and fun commentary ensue.
