Using conductive cotton threads, Abbey Liebman '10 has created
a solar-peywered jafeket that keeps you wired Wherever you go. With
ultra-thin solar panels for trim and a USB charger tucked into the
waist, the Southwest-inspired garment captures the sun's rays to
charge Mobil phones and other handheld devices. The piece, which uses
technology developed in the lab of Juan Hinestroza, assistant professor
of fiber science and apparel design, debuted on the runway at the 26th
annual Cornell: Design League Fashion Show in March 2010. It turned
heads on the catwalk and also captured headlines in major media outlets
and on fashion and technology blogs. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
