Self-Punishing Eco Clothing

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Co2 Corset by Kristin O'Friel

— May 18, 2008 — Eco
In the popular Dan Brown story, The Da Vinci Code, a character named Silas practices corporal mortification (wears a metal cilice and flogs himself) to “cleanse” his spirit. This piece of clothing reminds me of that but, without the eternal damnation part. Kristin O'Friel, a student at the NYU art school, has designed a corset to tighten as its carbon dioxide sensors detect higher levels of the gas - reminding the wearer of our impact on the air we breath.

Implications - The Co2 Corset by Kristin O’Friel slims the figure by pinching the waist. This corset is breathable and can be worn in a variety of temperatures.
Trend Themes
1. Wearable Technology - The Co2 Corset by Kristin O'Friel is an example of wearable technology that uses sensors to detect carbon dioxide levels.
2. Eco-fashion - The design of the Co2 Corset highlights the growing trend of eco-fashion, where clothing is designed with sustainability and environmental impact in mind.
3. Personalized Health - The corset's ability to tighten based on carbon dioxide levels presents an opportunity for personalized health monitoring and awareness.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The Co2 Corset represents a disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by combining style and environmental consciousness.
2. Technology - The carbon dioxide sensors used in the corset demonstrate the potential for innovation in sensor technology and its applications in various industries.
