Digital fashion keeps cropping up on Dezeen, so here’s a round-up of our stories about experimental technology in clothes and accessories.
A pair of dresses by Ying Gao are embedded with eye-tracking technology, so they writhe and glow in the dark in response to a viewer’s gaze. She has also created garments that unfurl in reaction to light and clothes that move as if they’re breathing.
Studio Roosegarde created a series of dresses containing electrically-sensitive foils that become opaque or transparent according to alterations in voltage, so increased heart rate makes them see through.
3D-printing is becoming more prevalent in fashion design and Iris van Herpen regularly incorporates the technology into her work, such as the dresses in her most recent collection shown earlier this year that combine hard and soft materials for the first time.
She told us about how printing and scanning technologies are transforming the fashion industry in an interview for our 3D-printing magazine Print Shift.
Accessories are also following the trend, exemplified by 3D-printed shoes with a hollow heel modelled on a bird’s skull and a range of spectacles and sunglasses by Ron Arad printed in one piece.
Spinning LEDs formed a hat in Philip Treacy’s show last September and outfits in Hussein Chalayan’s Spring Summer 2008 collection emitted laser beams, which were both created in collaboration with Moritz Waldemeyer.

Following claims that Thomas Heatherwick’s Olympic cauldron design isn’t original, we’ve compiled our top stories about copying in design.
The British designer was accused of copying after proposals by an American firm submitted to London’s Olympic committee in 2007 were published in The Guardian earlier this week, though Heatherwick dismissed the claims as “spurious nonsense”.
Recently it was announced that deliberate copying of a design is to become a criminal offence in the UK and a bill to extend copyright protection on industrial design has already been passed in the country.
Copying has also been prevalent in China, where a Zaha Hadid development in Beijing has been pirated by a Chinese developer in Chongqing.
However, Dutch design collective Droog turned the notion on its head by unveiling its own copies of Chinese objects at a Guangzhou shopping centre.
Legal disputes over copying settled in the past year include Apple’s payout to Swiss railway operator SBB for copying its trademark station clock design and Emeco’s claim that fellow US company Restoration Hardware ripped-off its classic Navy Chair.
