This project explores the synergy between the fields of fashion, design, science and technology. The concept of merging a fashionable technology object deemed aesthetically pleasant with technically enhanced functionalities. These functionalities include protection, decoration, social status and personal expression.
 

This project incorporated the technology of A*STAR. The dress is coated with a special mixture of a fragrance oil and a polymer developed by Loh Xian Jun at the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) that emits a continuously captivating fragrance at a sustained rate. The process is based on the same microencapsulation technology used to control the release of drugs.
