Veronica Apsan, an FIT Fashion Design student, and Erika Anderson, a mechanical engineering student at MIT with a minor in design, conceived a T-shirt that can change color. As many people own basic clothing in different colors, this garment with wearable technology could radically pare down how many garments people buy and throw out. Additionally, it allows a single garment to be flexible to the varying tastes of an individual or season. The four other students in the workshop combined multiple ideas into a single concept. David Merchan, a materials science and engineering and physics student at MIT; Calvin Zhong, an MIT graduate who double-majored in architecture and comparative media studies; and Melanie Wong and Jesse Doherty, Fashion Design students at FIT, created a double-layer knit laboratory apron with reflective zippers that transforms into a dress or bag and has interchangeable pockets with customizable technological functions. For example, one pocket could have an energy socket that wirelessly charges a phone, while another could act as a hand sanitizer, using antimicrobial chemicals or ultraviolet LEDs worked into the fabric. The apron/dress itself could also be infused with conductive fibers that cool or warm the wearer.
