Black Milk’s Latest Collection Looks More Protective Than It Is

Posted on by

Chainmaille looks cool and is very practical if someone is trying to slice you open with a sword. Luckily, that’s not a problem that most people face regularly face, but that leaves chainmaille as a very, very impractical material for daily wear. It’s heavy, makes loud noises when you move, and requires you to don a gambeson underneath to prevent chafing. Nobody likes chafing.

Black Milk, a company best known for making R2D2 one-piece swimsuits, is now offering a line of chainmaille-printed clothing. You can opt for one of two dresses, leggings, a skirt with suspenders, a pair of shorts, or a one-piece swimsuit. All the items are made from the same synthetic, stretch material that the company always uses, and I think it should do a very good job of protecting the wearer from (foam) swords, (Nerf brand) arrows, and (imaginary) halberds. My only problem is that I’m a dude, and none of this would be remotely attractive or acceptable on me.

Virtual Fashion is Here

Posted on by

This Fits Me is a collaborative project that combines fashion with generative design, a technique most often used in architecture to make structures not static, but dynamic to adjust to the environment. Similarly, this digital process allows garments to adjust to the wearer. After a 3D body scan, the wearer’s precise measurements are applied to an algorithm so material can be laser cut & stitched for fitting. In just a few clicks, complex designs can be created that would otherwise be too time consuming to measure & manufacture. Vid after the jump!

Designer: Leonie Tenthof van Noorden & Eunbi Kim

The iPhone Dress: iDress Like No Other

Posted on by

Apple is in the spotlight once again after the announcement of the iPhone 6 and their upcoming smartwatch. The brand also made an appearance at New York Fashion Week, although it wasn’t Tim Cook doing the presenting.

Instead, it was designer Elie Tahari with his iPhone dress.

The luxury fashion designer spared no expense when it came to the iPhone dress. The long black mesh dress was covered in nearly a dozen iPhones (although other reports mention that it was covered in 50!). The phones captured all angles of the event, where Tahari also presented the rest of his collection for next season.

Is the iPhone dress something you would wear? I think the answer is pretty obvious.

This Dress Has Every Single Pokémon on It

Posted on by

This is one sexy dress for anyone who wants to be a Pokémon master mistress. This $95(USD) Pokémon Skater Dress from Poprageous will be all the rage this season. It is said to feature every single Pokemon that ever was on it’s fabric.

If that is true then congratulations, you have caught them all. I have no idea if they are all really there or not. I just know that this skater dress is so low that I can almost see your Ash. Which is fine because I really wanted to get a Pikachu. Ok, I’ll stop now.

$95(USD) is a great price when you consider all of the Pocket Monsters on this thing. No pockets, but plenty of monsters.

The Urban Armor Dress Protects Your Personal Space

Posted on by

The Urban Armor Dress designed by Kathleen McDermott will protect your personal space if people get too close. It has two proximity detectors that make the dress expand outward like an umbrella if somebody is standing too close. It is the “leave me the hell alone” dress.

When their presence is no longer detected, it closes back up again and it looks like a (somewhat) normal dress. I hope it doesn’t malfunction and raise the dress all the way up. That would be very embarrassing.

Basically this is a dress for princesses who can’t bear to stand too close to us peasants. Such ladies need like twice the personal space we minions need. They also need rescuing all the time, so they aren’t all that.

Death Star Gown: The Ultimate Power in the Fashion Universe

Posted on by

This image comes from the Badlands Garrison of the 501st Legion, who Tweeted this picture from their booth at the recent Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. I’m sure everyone was having fun until some woman with an Alderaan dress came up to the booth. Needless to say, only one of them walked away.

Its maker and model, Deathstargirl, looks menacing wearing the ultimate power in the universe. The outer layer of gray is actually double layered and there are 900 foam tiles on it, 250 LED lights, and 12ft of EL wire. This thing must be pretty heavy. It also takes 9 “D” batteries to power the lights.

That Star Destroyer? It is a handbag. Awesome stuff – assuming you aren’t Alderaan.
