Colette to Host ‘Fashion Hack’ Wearables Exhibit

PARIS — Fashion and Silicon Valley may be worlds apart, but “Fashion Hack,” an exhibition headed to the windows of Colette on April 24 for one week, is aimed at closing the gap through 10 objects merging inventive technologies by 10 tech startups based mainly on America’s West Coast with the creative vision of 10 fashion and beauty designers from around the globe. Behind the project is French fashion writer Carole Sabas, a former New York correspondent for French Vogue, who is now based in L.A. Available to order in limited quantities, the objects include a mask dubbed Dream Band. Designed by Erik Halley harnessing technology by Luciding, the sci-fi-looking accessory is designed to help induce lucid dreams by night and modulate energy by day using biometrics. A pair of Wink Specs frames by District Vision sport a micro camera by Blincam that allows the wearer to take a picture in the wink of an eye. The snap is then sent to the user’s Smartphone via Bluetooth using an app. A range of pads in textured finishes like fur or exotic skins, meanwhile, serve as portable fancy docks for recharging wireless iPhones, co-designed by Studio D.B. and Bezalel Battery.
