What I Saw at New York Fashion Week
This season, Electric Runway attended our first-ever New York Fashion Week. Specifically, we were invited to see a colour-changing dress on the runway at Julianna Bass' Spring/Summer 2018 show. The high-accuracy responsive textile was developed in partnership with New York-based company LOOMIA, founded by creative technologist Madison Maxey. The base technologies include thermochromatic inks bonded to a LOOMIA electronic layer that can vary degrees to trigger a colour change in areas determined by the designer. The change in degree isn't felt by the wearer, but is enough to create the reaction needed to reveal the colours intended.
