Fashion and technology can be hit or miss (think the disco activated LED shirt) but in the case of the cellphone dress it’s a huge hit. London based fashion company, CuteCircuit, has been producing a line of wearable technology that that combines smart textiles and micro electronics that instantly makes their clothing state of the art telecommunication devices.

When you look at the CuteCircuit it’s easy to see why Time Magazine awarded them with a Best Inventions of the year award. They made Katy Perry’s couture gown for the MET Ball that makes her sparkle more than she normally would. Made from silk chiffon the dress had over 3000 LED lights creating a shimmering rainbow of colors. The M-Dress combines that aeshetic beauty with telephonic function.

The M-Dress allows you to make and receive phone calls without having to actually carry your cell phone but by using the dress itself. With the an antenna built into the hem and a port for you to plug in your sim card for the ability to send and recieve calls. Built in sensors allow you to answer calls by simply lifting your hand to your ear Inspector Gadget style.

There is no keyboard or screen so beware – screening phone calls is not an option! The dress does allow you to program one phone number into the dress to make outgoing calls though, so choose wisely.

It should be noted that Agar Apparel is researching various technologies for our line. So far, we have created and innovated the neck tag. BOo yeah.
