Dress that responds as others breathe — Ying Gao, 2011
Ying Gao is a Montreal based, Chinese designer, and I listed a lot of her work in this entry. She explored and produced a lot of work which expanded the potential in the use of technology in interactive fashion. Walking City is a series of three dresses that react to air. One of the dresses comes with origami-style structured fabric which moves with hidden pneumatic pumps as others breathe. She was inspired by a British avant-garde architectural group from the 1960s.
