Anti-Paparazzi Fashion

In response to the rise of paparazzi I\’ve created an interactive clutch bag that communicates the desire to not be photographed. When it detects a camera flash it responds with another flash that obscures the photo. I think it\’s important for everyone to realize the worth of their own image and to be able to protect that. The goal of anti-paparazzi fashion is to build a two-way communication between the photographer and subject.

The Kickbee

As a baby grows inside the womb, pregnant mothers are constantly and acutely aware of its presence mostly through its movements. With the Kickbee, I intend to extend a baby\’s minute contact with the world beyond the mother\’s body by sensing these movements and transmitting them via digital networks.

Dream Jammies

Dream Jammies are pajamas which are aware of your body in several ways. They know whether you are standing or laying down, tossing or lying quietly. Dream Jammies also know your body temperature. This information is relayed to your partner\’s iPhone, and expressed on their screen in color, changing in realtime.

As you lay down to sleep, the screen fades from green to blue, the shade of blue reflecting your body temperature. As you roll around, the screen flickers red. By shaking the iPhone your partner is able to reach out, causing the chest of your pajamas to vibrate. Not pleasant while you sleep, but a perfect alarm clock. Not only are you able to keep in touch while living on opposite sides of the world, Dream Jammies offer insight into how you sleep by capturing data as you snooze.
