hey everybody this is Kwame with the verge and Nicola from ract were here at the Metropolitan Museum art check of the new fashion techniques that are presented by Apple we're gonna 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 on my machine and what part was done by hand these striking is see Miyake pieces were all made with machine pleating and then - sort of like double and press-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 say something flat and the way that it comes to life from patterning and from texture imprinted by machines on to the physical form these are my favorite dresses I think they came from 1990 from the world from look good and he continued this onto his like next dress in 1993 8 yeah it is my favorite my favorite dress of all please please but the reason why this dress in particularly is my favorite it's called the Flying Saucer dress and it's it's so sci-fi to see like this rising like strain of color going up from the bottom it's brilliant oh this is terrifying it looks like a rib cage that developed over time for what humans or some animal they've become but this so this is 3d printed which is really interesting in 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 really yeah I can't really think of anyone else who is 3d printing clothes at that point I mean if you want to close but I mean it's crazy with how far are things going to go with 3d printing you can see like the level of detail in it just like not only the bones which is already so macabre but just like the little bits of what looked like white see you 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 of me okay so this guy is cast fiberglass this is the Justin feature to me yeah this is the dress in the future even though it was made five years ago okay so this dress comes with the 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 so it allows me crystals that look like I guess butterflies or as fly as I guess pollen obviously look when you app that wasn't gonna have like if there was gonna be no like Apple watch display because that's not how the sponsorship works but that's kind of thing but there is it a sigelei like Apple feel to the actual design which is cathedrals are like entirely whitewash 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 these kind of geodesic dome going on with gold simple and white but also the entire enclosure which is a building within a building feels very much like a church and they custom built this structure inside of here and that 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 it's just 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 some 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 app and that and through August 14th so normally we do this bit inside but they asked us to stop filming but anyway if you want to see more videos like this check out the verge comm or subscribe to youtube.com/scishow cut rap calm
