Talented designer Daan Roosegaarde has created the Intimacy 2.0 dress, which is an updated version of his first creation.
Believe it or not, the ingenuity of the dress is its ability to become transparent when the wearer of the dress gets sexually aroused! The way the garment works is by way of something called e-foils, which is situated between the dress's leather ribbons. The e-foils are wired to detect the wearer's heartbeat. The quicker one's heart beats, the more transparent the garment becomes. This incredible dress may not be something you can wear out but it can make for a great outfit for the bedroom.
The Intimacy 2.0 dress, which is currently on display in China, has garnered several awards for the designer including the Dutch Design Award and China’s Most Successful Design Award.
