We have planty of sun, wind, waves that could produce limitless power and i was glad to find out about a a greek designer who throught of it.




Despina Papadopoulos

Studio 5050 was founded in the summer of 1995 by Despina Papadopoulos. The studios mission is to strech the boundaries of fashion, design, technology, art and ideas, and to engage in an open dialogue between these disciplines. Studio 5050 was featured in I.D.'s 40 January 2007 Issue, 'Celebrating Collective', as one of the world's most interesting and promising collectives.!
Despina created a series of 'philosophy machines' experiments in design and technology which probe the relationship between magic, technology and fashion.


Day-for-Night Solar Dress

an homage to Paco Rabbane is a celebration of beauty of electronics.! It is a modular and reconfigurable dress that is made out of 448 white curcuit boards. Each tile is designed to be a solar cell, a RGB LED and jumper connectiors. Acontrol board provides power, communicates with the tiles and links to a computer via RF. A microcontroller relays data to and from the dress via a 2.4 GHz RF link.  A m a z i n g . . . . . .






















Could this really be a cocktail dress you wear for a night out with the girls in the near future?
The conclusions are yours... ;)
