Studio Roosegaarde has created an appealing twist on that hellish waking-up-naked dream scenario with its Intimacy clothing line, designed in collaboration with Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht. Constructed with leather and smart e-foils, the garments turn from clear to opaque when the wearer's body heat and heartbeat. “Intimacy is more a fashion statement, a couture dress made to be shown on a catwalk or in a museum,” says Maartje Dijkstra, a designer with Intimacy. In other words, don’t expect to see a dress like this at prom. Version 2.0 is available as black and white dresses, but the studio promises Intimacy 3.0 will include garments for both women and men.
