Speaker Dress

Y_4

Fortunately, this is a concept dress called Yuga by designer Teresa Almeida who frequently bases her designs on emotions. "Yuga consists of two wearable products: a belt and a handbag. Both use sound as object, amplifying moods by the use of space.
The handbag helps managing feelings of frustration – of communication, misunderstanding or alienation. The belt deals with attention - it is a portable wearable accessory that interacts with the environment by detecting physical proximity and movement. According to the data collected it creates brief compositions – that allow others to notice this wearable user’s presence or thus the user him/herself to reclaim spontaneous attention and/or interact with the surroundings." WMNA has an interview with the designer.
