Transformer Fashion 

This spring 2007 runway show by designer Hussein Chalayan and the tech team behind the hippogriff in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban featured something truly remarkable: robotic, self-undressing fashion. Models would walk onstage in flowy dresses, only to have them slowly and unexpectedly start to move and reconfigure themselves into a completely different outfit (one of the most memorable being the “table dress“). Who knows, maybe one day we’ll rely on this technology to make a hands-free evening gown-sweatpants switch.
