Hussein Chalayan designed an airplane dress that changes shape by remote control. The dress is<br />

made using glass fibres.<br />

Fig. 87 Glass fibre dress by Chalayan [160]<br />

The Finnish Clothing+ Oy developed the concept of a Reima Robotec overall, researched the<br />

integration of the fibre and electronics into a children's overall and is now producing the electronics for<br />

Reima Oy. The Robotec overalls combine visibility with entertainment. The garment has an optic fibre<br />

sown into the shoulder, and is very easy to operate. In order to switch the light on and off, the child<br />

needs to wave the right sleeve in front of the badge on the chest. The luminous fibre is fun for the<br />

children and provides an added safety feature in lightless conditions where traditional reflectors do not<br />

work. The overalls entered the market in the autumn of 2004, and they are a part of the well-known<br />

Reimatec line of waterproof, windproof and breathable clothes.<br />
