DIANA ENG, New York, USA

I have to talk about Diana Eng and her inflatable dress. She´s working with different kinds of tecnology. For example, shes putting cameras in bags that can blog for you while you are out shopping! Also she has created a hoodie with a hidden mini-camera that takes photos of youre heart-rate when you are in different moods.

And then she made the Inflatable dress. It´s a wedding-gown with a huge motor-instrument on the back that can blow air into the dress, creating different forms and shapes.

It´s similar to Hussein Chalayans work, who also works with changing shapes in clothes. But i didn ´t wanted to write about him. The difference between Eng and Chalayan is that Chalayans tecnical work is more sophisticated, you never get to se what makes the dress change shape, everything is allways hidden. Eng, however, shows how the motors are constructed in her creations, evrything is very clear to the eye. And that really fascinates me, because she makes the bond fashion/tecnology more obvious. And speaking of the dress, the motor and the hoses are very clear, but it actually fits the dress, there is a though behind how it´s placed on the dress, and it suits it! It almost looks elegant!

I have a huge fascination for clothing in movement, and Eng really captures it well.
