fashion + technology = (no)where (now)here
I came across this on The Creators Project's blog and have to say this is one of the coolest things I've seen. In the video below you'll see two models wearing dresses by designer Ying Gao. These dresses are made of "photoluminescent thread and embedded with eye-tracking technology" or in simpler terms they move--activated by the human gaze. The movements of the dresses are like jellyfish colonies drifting in the sea.
"Inspired by Paul Virilio's essay Esthétique de la disparition (The Aesthetic of Disappearance), the dresses were created by designer Ying Gao and are part of a new series (No)where (Now)here which explores the idea of absence."
I'll be graduating from college this year like many of my friends and peers. We'll go through a stage of doubt, anxiety, depression, or excitement about what's to come ahead. We'll be applying to plethora of jobs hoping to get at least one response or an interview.
I don't know how to describe what I feel. I have my fears about the future, but also knowing that I have other options makes me somewhat optimistic.
This feeling of uncertainty has been the most certain thing in my life right now at this very moment.
Even though my style doesn't incorporate bright colors or any cool patterns (mostly because I don't think I can get away with it) I've come to love Mara Hoffman's use of colors and patterns in her Fall 2013 collection. I wish I could rock those pants from the 2nd look.

I'll tell myself I'm going to stick with my blog and then two days into it I get busy with work and school or simply lazy, but this time (hopefully) it's going to be different.
I'm in the process of finding myself and discovering what I want to do and where I want to go. I look back on my short life and have so many regrets or ask myself a lot of whys? Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that? But I'm done with that. I just want to live a full-filled life of love, adventure, passion, and happiness, and I know I can get there. It's just going to take some time and effort.
In the mean time, I'm going to dance to this....
