FASHION FOR THE FUTURE

In four different laboratories across Great Britain, scientists are already working on fashion for the future. Today we visit them and talk about their ideas.

1.  First we go to a small university building on the outskirts of Liverpool. Jocelyn Brown, the head of the department, infonns us about their project: clothes which smell. As Brown explains, people can save on antiperspirants and perfume because the clothes produce a nice, fresh aroma.
2. The next place to visit is a charming village on the coast of Scotland. Our host here is Mandy Wilson who manages the project for the University of Glasgow. Their idea is clothes with a tiny electrical heating system to keep the wearer warm. When it is hot, you can switch the system off and clothes are cool again!
3.  In Wales, scientists are busy with large sheets of paper-like material. They are producing clothes which the user can paint and decorate any way they like. What's more, it is possible to wash the clothes and paint them once again. Mary Smith, the director of the project, also stresses the fact that these clothes are environmental-friendly.
4.  But a truly modern idea of clothing is waiting for us in the capital of England, London. Nick Heldon of Fashion Co. presents us with something which looks like a Roman toga, a set of different belts, and a pair of scissors. We put the toga on and can do whatever we like with it: for example, out it very short, or put a belt on.

So the fashion industry is getting ready to face the future. In the meantime, we should try and earn more because it seems that all the ideas are rather expensive.
