Sun N0º1 Solar Activated Shirt by Karen Day
The initial design in a series of intelligent shirts combining fashion with technology, Moondial's Sun Nº01, limited edition zebra print tee, takes full shape a sunlight-activated image. Heat hitting the shirt reveals a lavender zebra head, lending an interactive element to an otherwise static graphic.
Headed up by Sabine Seymour—Parsons professor and author of the book Fashionable Technology—Moondial created the dynamic shirt in combination with Viennese fashion label Wendy & Jim, a conceptual duo known for adding installations and performances to their collections.
Launched at the Ars Electronica Festival earlier this month, the shirt is now available internationally for €80 from the Moondial site.
See more on fashionable technology in our Cool Hunting video on the topic.

Arguably, in...
