Fashion and Technology Converge: A Closer Look at Apple's New Exhibit at the Met

We're here at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where we've just had the chance to explore the new fashion-tech exhibit presented by Apple. As part of this exclusive event, we got to delve into the world of fashion and technology, exploring how these two seemingly disparate fields come together in a truly innovative way.

One of the most striking aspects of the exhibit is the sheer variety of garments on display. Each piece has been carefully crafted to showcase the fusion of human creativity with machine-made components. The designers have done an excellent job of detailing what part was created by hand and what part was produced using machines, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the production process.

As we wandered through the exhibit, our eyes landed on several pieces that caught our attention. One such piece is from the 1990s designer Look From Look, who went on to create another iconic design in 1993 – The Flying Saucer dress. This particular design is a standout, with its bold, sci-fi-inspired aesthetic that seems almost otherworldly. According to Pat, this dress is his favorite of all time, and it's easy to see why.

What really sets The Flying Saucer dress apart is the innovative use of 3D printing technology. Despite being created over 20 years ago, the level of detail in this design is still impressive today. Not only can we see the intricate structure of the garment itself, but also the individual components that make it up – including the white polyamide skeleton that gives the dress its shape and support.

It's worth noting that while The Flying Saucer dress may seem like a relic of the past, 3D printing technology has come a long way since then. We can see how the designers have managed to incorporate this cutting-edge technology into their designs without compromising on style or quality. In fact, one piece in the exhibit is made entirely from cast fiberglass – a testament to the versatility and creativity of modern design.

Another interesting aspect of the exhibit is the use of digital technology to enhance the wearer's experience. One dress comes with a digital handset that can be controlled to fly off and swarm around the body. This may seem like something straight out of a science fiction movie, but in reality, it's a clever example of how tech can be used to create new and innovative fashion experiences.

The exhibit also features a geodesic dome structure that houses several garments on display. The design is sleek and modern, with a minimalist aesthetic that allows the wearer to take center stage. As we looked up at the dome, we could see how it was constructed using gold and simple materials – a clever example of how technology can be used to enhance the overall experience.

Throughout our exploration of the exhibit, we couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer creativity and innovation on display. From The Flying Saucer dress to the digital handset, each piece has been carefully crafted to showcase the fusion of fashion and technology in a truly unique way. As someone who's interested in both fashion and technology, it was an absolute pleasure to see these two fields come together in such a powerful and inspiring way.

As we conclude our visit to the exhibit, we can't help but feel excited for what the future holds. With Apple's commitment to innovation and creativity, we know that this is just the beginning of something truly special. If you're interested in fashion or technology, or simply want to see how these two fields come together in a unique way, then be sure to check out the exhibit at the Met – it's an experience you won't want to miss.

The exhibit opens to the public through August 14th, and we highly recommend it for anyone who's interested in fashion, technology, or simply seeing something new and innovative.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everybody this is quami with the Verge and Nicola from rack we're here at the Metropolitan Museum of Art check out the new fashion Tech exhibit presented by Apple we're going to be checking out all the beautiful dresses here how they were made and how they blend man and machine in their design everything in the exhibit details what part was done by machine and what part was done by hand these striking iyaki pieces were all made with machine pleading and then to sort of like double impress on you what kind of production goes into this they have the flat garments across the way which is just such a cool visual mechanism of being able to see something flat and the way that it comes to life from patterning and from texture imprinted by machines onto the physical form these are some of my favorite dresses I think they came from 1990 from look from look of it and he continued this onto his like next dress in 1993 which is my favorite dress of all Pat please like the reason why this dress in particular is my favorite it's called The Flying Saucer dress and it's it's so sci-fi you just see like this Rising like strain of color going up from the bottom it's brilliant again oh this is terrifying it looks like a rib cage that developed over time for what humans or some animal will become um but this so this was 3D printed which is really interesting and took apparently the file took two months to make and it took a full week to print it out this was done in 2011 so pretty early I can't really think of anyone else who was 3D printing clothes at that point I mean if you want to call this clothes but still I mean it's crazy how far things would go with 3D printing you can see like the level of detail in it just like not only the bones which is already a soob but just like the little bits of what look like white senu it's made of white white polyamide and it just kind of flows around the skeleton itself and you can see how one might wear it but also like it would kind of hurt if you were wearing this there's an amazing amount of flexibility happening here like there's so much curvature there's so much difference between thick and thin in the same pieces it definitely looks like extremely delicate to have made okay so this guy is cast fiberglass this is the dress of the future to me yeah this is the dress of the future even though it was made 5 years ago okay so this dress comes with a digital handset because each one of these little doodads can be controlled to fly off and swarm around the dress and the way that you get in and out of it is through motorized hinges this is crazy I mean if you look you see little s crystals that look like I guess butterflies or I guess flies I guess pollins ah obviously like we knew Apple wasn't going to have like a there was going to be no like Apple watch display cuz that's not how the sponsorship works for this kind of thing but there is a distinctly like apple feel to the actual design which is Cathedral Inspire but like entirely whitewashed very much like objects are on display in the center with very little Interruption and it's really different from what these exhibits usually look like but it definitely has a very church-like feel to it if you look up you see this kind of geodesic dome going on with gold simple and white but also the entire enclosure which is building within a building feels very much like a church and they custom built the structure inside of here and the all the walls are kind of like this sheer material so you can see what's essentially the boning of this building which also kind of plays back to that like seeing the production process like even within the way the show is designed which is really cool the exhibit opens to the public this week as someone who's interested in fashion it's obviously a lot to look at it's really beautiful and there's a lot to learn and someone who loves Tech it's really interesting to see how things are produced and all the design that goes into it you can come check out the visit at the Met open through August 14th so normally we do this bit inside but they ask us to stop filming but
