The work of Emily Steel, a student at Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Design, the dress is made up of individual film slides backed with LEDs. An integrated light sensor connected to an Arduino Lilypad measures the amount of ambient light in the room, and dynamically adjusts the brightness of the LEDs based upon the location. Out in the sunlight, the dress is completely black, but in areas with subdued lighting, the dress glows, illuminating the various slides. When lit, the system even pulses various LEDs, turning the dress into a constantly-shifting array of images. Steel created the dress as a project for Victoria University’s Wearable Technology program, and according to her Tumblr, was inspired by “classic movies and the ‘magic of film’.”

Xeni is a young fashion label designing, manufacturing and retailing online couture quality clothing specifically designed for women who use wheelchairs and clothing and jewellery for women who have difficulty with the manipulation of clasps, buttons and zips.

A significant aspect of Xeni’s design is how to respond to the situation of being unable to stand. This has resulted in designs for tunics, dresses, jackets and coats with a cutup back so that they do not go under the seat. This allows my garments to be put on by a seated person independently. This aspect of design is particularly relevant for coats, which by their very nature need to be put on and taken off often.
