Welcome to the future, horndogs: Dutch designers have invented a dress that incorporates biodynamic fabric that aims to render visible the wearer's innermost thoughts. Parts of the dress turn transparent when the wearer's heart rate rises. Ladies, the dress flirts for you. Holy unequal gaze, Foucault! Now, what we want to know is: who's going to invent the dress that waits in line at the post office for you? The dress that repeats your problem to the five different CSRs your call is transferred to before reaching the person who can actually help? The dress that scoops the cat box? Flirting we can handle, frankly. If some dress is going to manage an experience for us, we want it to be a dumb one. [Fast Company]


Emily Blunt's Yves Saint Laurent Opium



- As the trend for (mostly loosely) Navajo-inspired clothing and accessories continues, one of the first people to show actual Navajo textiles in a museum context has died. Mary Hunt Kahlenberg was a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the 1970s when she organized "The Navajo Blanket," a groundbreaking 1972 exhibit that was the first time Native American weaving had been shown as fine art at a major museum. "The Navajo Blanket" was so popular it travelled to numerous other art museums in the U.S. and around the world. Kahlenberg was 71. [NYTimes]

- Daphne Guinness says she's working on a novel. "Writing is a funny thing," she said at an event at the Museum at FIT, where a show dedicated to her wardrobe is currently on display. "It's not like you're working on a schedule. It comes in fits and starts. It will be ready when it's ready. I've just got to get it right so that it will be as good as it can be." Asked what the novel will be about, and whether it will be autobiographical, Guinness replied, "Well, it's not about beetles. It will be about what I've observed or imagined. Frankly, I'm not Winston Churchill or another public figure. I don't think anyone would be particularly interested in my observations." [WWD]
- Alexa Chung says she doesn't follow trends. "I think people make them up, and then they say, ‘Oh yeah, yellow's really in this season.' Sometimes there are obvious trends, but there aren't any at the moment I can think of. Are there? It's bullshit. Trends are a lie magazines make up so you feel like you have to buy something."

- And now, a moment with Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel, who is not single. But that doesn't stop the wannabes from trying it on:
"I think it's harder to date as an angel, when people meet you it's hard to look past our job, what we look like. They are always trying to impress you, you know, like 'come to my mansion blah blah blah.'"
