These color-shifting clothes by Alexander Wang see the designer taking massive strides in incorporating technology with his designs. This color-shifting collection is activated by varying levels of heat.
For those who want style that cannot be copied, one of the ways to go is to buy clothing that can easily change color. While Alexander Wang is certainly higher priced clothing, it is one of the only designers from which you'll get heat sensing dresses. His "thermo-reactive" jacket cycles through many different colors as it is exposed to heat so wearing this outside or even in the cold will have differing effects on the dress.
There is also a slightly cheaper (albeit still quite expensive) top suit and heat-sensitive skirt. Both look the same initially but once they are exposed to heat, they take on a personality of their own.
