Second Skin Offers Fashionable Future Posted: 21 Apr 2009 07:09 PM PDT Fashion-forward designers just aren’t interested in cutting minimalist looks or throwing in more frills into a dress as they look forward to the future with a sense practicality by incorporating technology in an extremely unconventional manner.
