Future Fashion

This is why you have to visit us daily. Where else would you learn about all this cool stuff (well, besides the source we "borrow" from):
With the rapid merging of fashion and technology, future brands of haute couture will probably owe more to Cisco Systems than Coco Chanel... Recently, hip, Los Angeles-based denim designer Serfontaine Jeans started using DuPont's Lycra T400, which is made from multicomponent yarns, to create stretch jeans that don't lose their elasticity, thereby virtually eliminating the need for a belt... But we're not just talking about clothes made with cool fabrics that retain their shapes or better resist stains -- what's known as "smart clothing." We're also talking about clothing with new technology incorporated into its design, aka "wearable technology."... [khakis that] will be able to keep your legs warm with heating coils built into the lining... [with] a small amount of heat, a nitinol-based long-sleeve shirt can become short-sleeved in seconds, while still being able to revert back to its original shape... a "spray-on dress" made from a chemical formula that allows you to create a temporary dress from virtually nothing. The chemical is sprayed directly onto the skin to form a cloud of non-woven cloth, which can be styled as desired.

So many people moved south when air conditioning was invented. Will we see them coming back north once we have heated coiled khakis?
