Insane Intimacy

INTIMACY 2.0 the transparent dress

It's best not to run for the bus if you're wearing the INTIMACY 2.0!! This high-tech futuristic dress is so advanced that it can detect when you're turned on, yes, a dress can detect when you're turned on. Designed by Daan Roosegaard and conceived by Studio Roosegaarde, this baffling piece of technology detects arousal allowing it to turn more or less transparent.


So, the question on all of our minds...how does it figure out you're turned on? Sensors placed around the dress detect changes in body temperature and increases in heart rate causing what Studio Roosegarde describe as a 'sensual play of disclosure'. Of course, there are a lot of other activities that can cause heart rate increase..imagine going for your morning jog in this? I think I'll pass.

The Intimacy 2.0 dress comes in colours of white and black which Roosegaard is describing as 'Intimacy White' and 'Intimacy Black'. The dress is made up of some pretty standard materials (white cloth for the white edition, black peather for the black edition) however as you can imagine it isn't only made out of these (I mean it does turn transparent, right?!). The areas which turn transparent are made out of opaque smart e-foils which change colour as increases in heart rate and body temperature occur therefore turning into clear plastic, creating the effect of the dress turning invisible.

As you may have noticed, this is called the Intimacy 2.0. The original intimacy dress was nearly all e-foils causing it to be capable of turning completely invisible. The 2.0 is now only invisible around the bust, making it a lot more suitable to be worn as a normal dress while still maintaining its erotic quality. Studio Roosegaard are currently selecting haute couture designers to work on producing the next fashion line of the intimacy series, 'Intimacy 3.0' for men and women. 

Studio Roosegaard are describing this dress as being 'perfect to wear on the red carpet', I salut any model outgoing enough to brave this piece and be confident enough to be sure they'll maintain a steady heart rate!! You can see the Intimacy 2.0 in action here.
