COGNITIVE DRESS

The Met Gala’s theme this year was Manus x Machina – Fashion in an Age of Technology.  The top model Karalina Kurkova wore an innovative “cognitive dress” which was created by the fashion brand Marchesa (Georgina Chapman and Karen Craig) in collaboration with IBM WATSON .  The dress created with IBM Watson’s analytical technology was embedded with LED lights that continually changed colour based on Marchesa’s live social media reactions to the dress as Kurkova arrived on the red-carpet and throughout the Met Gala evening   Read more about the collaboration:
