But when it comes to Farahi's garment, its sophisticated ability to identify viewers and move exactly in line with their gaze set it far apart.
但法拉希的这件衣服,其通过辨别注视者并与注视者目光进行动态调整的复杂功能,确实令其脱颖而出.
Another reason: its futuristic material, designed to flex like skin, was made by special 3D printer.
还有一个原因:它充满未来感、可以像皮肤一样收缩的面料由特殊3D打印机制成.
That 'allows the fabrication of composite materials with varying flexibilities [and] densities,' Farahi said.
"这就让复合材料制成的面料具有极大的灵活性和多变的密度."法拉希如是说.
'Inspired by the flexible behaviour of the skin itself, this outfit therefore exhibits different material characteristics in various parts of the body ranging from stiff to soft.'
这件衣服的灵感源自皮肤本身柔韧、有弹性的特点,因此它展示了身体不同部分的组织特性,软硬兼备.
Farahi isn't an ordinary designer—she's an architect and interaction designer working toward her Ph.D. at University of Southern California.
法拉希可不是普通设计师——她不仅是位建筑师,还是名交互设计师,目前正在南加州大学攻读博士学位(University of Southern California).
And this isn't her first foray into printed attire -her previous projects include a flexible collar and helmet.
这并非她首次进军打印服装界,此前她还做过可伸缩衣领和头盔等项目.
But 'Caress of the Gaze' is the first to directly respond to outside observers.
但"眼神的爱抚"是首个能直接回应外界观察者的作品.
She made it during Pier 9 artist residency at Autodesk, getting support from non-profit Madworkshop.
她在欧特克公司(Autodesk)举办的"九号码头艺术家居所"活动中得到非营利组织"疯狂工作坊"(Madworkshop)的支持,从而做出了这件衣服.
And while it may not be coming to stores anytime soon, it's certainly showing what novel technology can do for fashion.
虽然这种服装或许不能很快进驻商店售卖,但它肯定显示出了新技术对时尚界的影响.
