Clothing of the future

Watch this first, quite cool.

Scientists are now experimenting with what our clothing will look like and, more importantly, do for us in the years to come. For example, some day we will be able to charge our iPods with body energy converted to electricity. Other futuristic products include clothing made of self-cleaning material that doesn’t require much washing, outfits made with carbon nanofibers that act as armor, soft helmets that turn hard in case of a crash, and wool that doesn’t itch or shrink. Finally, there is experimentation with byproducts such as chicken feathers or rice straw being turned into material to cut down on petroleum-based synthetic fabrics. We guess that means that you can double your clothing as pillows or sleeping bags, should the need arise.

Lacoste on the future of tennis clothing!

This video features an ad from lacoste about tennis in the future, in the year 2083 to be exact. Pretty cool future concept and great computer animation. But why would the technique and footwork change completely, he doesn’t move like a tennis player at all more like some anime character. Plus, his uniform looks like some prediction of what 2010 would look like from the 60′s.
