Extensible Dress

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore current trends in the social psychology of clothing, postmodernism, and advancing technologies that suggest a concept of clothing in the future. New technologies in initial stages of development, such as organic light-emitting devices and polymer light-emitting devices, demonstrate the possibility of a soft, wearable digital screen that would project any type of image. If such a device could be perfected, the creative uses could expand dramatically to allow for change and personal manipulation of appearance that our postmodern society craves. A future scenario and set of illustrations present a bodysuit that could be controlled by a microcomputer to project multiple images in a matter of seconds, thereby changing appearances depending on the situation.
