E - Ink's Automatic Self Styling Color-Changing Dress
Beautiful display prototype of a dress made with E-Ink "fabric":
Fashionistas enjoyed Say Goodbye to the Wind, a 1970 JG Ballard short story featuring dresses made with biofabrics:
The racks of gowns itched and quivered, their colors running into blurred pools. One drawback of bio-fabrics is their extreme sensitivity. Bred originally from the gene stocks of delicate wisterias and mimosas, the woven yard have brought with them something of the vine's remarkable response to atmosphere and touch. The sudden movement of someone nearby, let alone of the wearer, brings an immediate reply from the nerve-like tissues. A dress can change its color and texture in a few seconds
You say you like the dress, but maybe in a different color? But of course.
