SAFE: Design Takes On Risk_MOMA_2005

SAFE: Design Takes On Risk presents more than 300 contemporary products and prototypes designed to protect body and mind from dangerous or stressful circumstances, respond to emergencies, ensure clarity of information, and provide a sense of comfort and security. These objects address the spectrum of human fears and worries, from the most mundane to the most exceptional, from the dread of darkness and loneliness to the threat of earthquakes and terrorist attacks. The exhibition covers all forms of design, from manufactured products to information architecture. Featured products include refugee shelters, demining equipment, baby strollers, and protective sports gear. SAFE redirects the pursuit of beauty toward the appreciation of economy of function and technology.

She started creating Kusama Dress and textile , which were sold at department stores and boutiques all over the United States. In 1969 she opened her own boutique.

Pseudomorphs

A dress by Dutch designer brings together fashion and technology in an unusual way. The dress includes valves that are controlleed to pump ink slowly when the piece is worn, creating interesting patterns and a one-of-a-kind outfit for every wearer.
The dress called ‘Pseudomorph’ has been created by designer Anouk Wipprecht. The neck piece works with pneumatic valves and a system that allows the ink to be flow through the fabric. The electronic circuits that control the valve are powered by a 9-volt battery.
The dress was shown at Vienna Fashion Week late last month.
Increasingly, many designers are trying to meld fashion and technology with the intent of developing new ideas in wearable computing. We have seen a dress made of recycled wires, OLED displays and circuit boards.
The Pseudomorph dress has two parts. The bodice is a white dress made of thick felt, while the neck brace is the electronic accessory made from repurposed medical equipment, says Fashioning Tech. The two are linked together so when the ink trickles down the dress, it creates a unique pattern.
