"Transformers" - Shape-shifting Dresses

Came across this really interesting article from LiveScience.com "Plunging Necklines: New Transformer Clothes" that I just have to share: Fashion designer Hussein Chalayan worked with an engineering firm 2D3D to create dresses that transform! Below is a YouTube video that will clear any doubts:

CAUTION: Nudity is present in this video. Please do not proceed if you find this offensive or against the law(s) of your country.



As mentioned in the article, the truth is lots of tiny motors working - pulling strings and mechanical switches that release metal plates. Quoting 2D3D director Rob Edkins, "There was a huge amount of stuff going on beneath the clothes."
