Chalayan’s Robot Dress
Turkish fashion designer Hussein Chalayan is known for his innovative ideas. He created six mechanical dresses that would transform from one era to another, using embedded technology and smart wires.
With the first dress, the girl walked on in a 1906 costume, and it morphed from 1906 to 1916 and then to 1926. So she ended up having a beaded flapper dress of the twenties. The next dress was from 1926, and it evolved from 1936 to 1946, and so on. The final dress was 1986, 1996, and then 2007. So there were five dresses, and each dress [morphed through] three decades.
