Imagine the time it would take to knit 600 feet of clear plastic tubing to make this Fluid Dress. Then add the technological factor: hooking it up to a machine that feeds the tubes [neon water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). The result is a marvelous [work of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) that mixes both science and couture.

Charlie Bucket is the man behind this wonder and although the Fluid Dress could not really be worn in contemporary society (imagine lugging around a machine behind you), it is a beautiful take on [technology and fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-clothing).
