A Jacket Whose Style Grows on You

“Friends, Host and Parasites.” Sometimes it’s tough to tell ’em apart. Differentiation doesn’t come any easier in this amazing wearable bio-art project of the same name. Explains the designers :

“[It is] A jacket with a printed pattern that is almost seamless when not active and comes to live through the illumination of the different graphics that compose it. The pattern, like a parasite or a wine plant, grows on the structure of the body as time passes until it grows into a fully blooming visual organism. When the jacket is removed, the organism slowly dies out until it disappears completely.

“The printed organism is created using thermo-chromic inks and is electrically controlled through conductive wire threaded directly on the fabric of the jacket.”
