The Golden Age of Technology

How much are you loving 'The Social Network'?? It really does blow my mind that one person (or maybe a few people as is disputed in the film) can connect so many people together in such a simple way.

This might sound a bit silly coming from a fashion blogger as obviously technology that connects to the rest of the world is the reason you can even read what I'm writing right now! Techonology is streaming through our lives and controlling our actions, advancing our progress as humans every day, much like fashion. It makes sense to combine the two together really?
That is exactly what I discovered an up and coming designer called Amy Winters has done this season. With her debut SS/11 collection being shown at LABB magazine's Emerge showcase at the Hoxton Factory in London in Septembe, she has provided a ready-to-wear capsule collection of garments displaying colour changing methods such as Photochromic and Hydrochromic technology. This means that when the garment is exposed to water or UV rays of sunlight, it will change colour, mostly going from white to a vivid colour, and then back again when the water/sunlight has disappeared.

 Having graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2006, and this being her debut R-T-W collection, she has obviously spent a lot of time and effort into getting this powerful collection just right... and it has certainly paid off! She has taken something that sounds ridiculous and made it functional and fun!

Staying at the forefront of fashion, she makes even the couture designers look a bit behind the times!
