Written by Tania Braukämper.

Is there really a practical application for a material that changes transparency depending on how the wearer feels?

Then again, does it matter?

Technologically intriguing, ‘Intimacy 2.0′ by Studio Roosegaarde is a project “exploring the relation between intimacy and technology”. With these garments, the transparency of the fabric changes in response to your heart-rate. Practically be damned: this is sheer clothing on a whole other level that’s simply too cool not to share.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
