Sun Dry Swim (Sun Dry Technologies) UV, nano technology, skin, fabric
Sun Dry Swim fabrics have been treated using a range of proprietary methods with a nanotechnology process that is inert, UV stable, and completely harmless to skin. This guarantees that you won't end up with rashes or be allergic to it, as the non-toxic nanotechnology treatment is water based and environmentally friendly. With an invisible nanotechnology mesh around each fabric fiber, you will find yourself wearing a permanent water repelling material without interfering with the fabric weave. This also makes it a whole lot easier to clean, while the breathable material itself is protected surface with water resistant properties.

Suzi Webster Suzi Webster new media, installation, artist, critique
As a new media installation artist, Suzi Webster's practice is concerned with exploring and critiquing the ways in which technologies, specifically but not solely digital technologies, impact and shape our experiences of being human. In particular, Webster is excited by the possibilities offered by digital media to create work that is collaborative, responsive and dynamic, rather than fixed and static, and that undermines traditional fine art distinctions based on medium specificity. Her current research interests center around wearables that explore intersections between sculpture and performance, fashion and computing, the body and its context, public and private, in a critical way.

As mavericks ranging from Hussein Chalayan and Rei Kawakubo to Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid describe architectureís role in the formation of fashion identities, new readings of both areas emerge.
