THIS is The Moment (of The Met Gala)

Tech meets couture 📸

Now a moment for THE dress that won the Met Gala. Styled by the one and only Law Roach (yes, the genius behind Zendaya’s best looks), this dress wasn’t just about beauty — it was tech in motion. Designed by Iris Van Herpen, known for fusing tech with high fashion, the dress featured butterfly wings that could literally open and close. Law and Iris took the 2024 theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” to a new level, bringing wearable art to life with every move.

And who was this mystery woman wearing it? Mona Patel, is a total icon and maybe every Indian parent’s dream child. She’s an eight-time tech founder with degrees from Harvard, Stanford, and MIT. Basically, I found my new idol. Now, if someone could connect me to Law and Iris for my future Met Gala debut, and, um, Anna Wintour — I’ll be waiting.

3D Printing: The Future of Fashion

The rise of customizable, sustainable fashion 🪩 

If you think 3D printing is just a buzzword, think again — it’s revolutionizing fashion. It eliminates waste, reduces carbon footprints, and every piece is made-to-order. So, each item doesn’t just look cool — it’s sustainable and ethically crafted. Imagine a world where every item in your closet fits like a glove, without harming the planet.

These brands are nailing it:

Elemental just dropped Prism, the first 3D-printed metal backpack, crafted from carbon fiber with a mirror-like palladium finish. Lightweight at 3.5 pounds yet built to last, Prism is where high tech meets high style. Each bag is a made-to-order, sustainable piece that combines a 3D-printed carbon fiber composite shell with electroformed copper and palladium layers, making it scratch-resistant, weatherproof, and exceptionally durable.

Every detail is intentional: Prism opens from the back to keep your essentials secure and weather-protected. The fully customizable interior has compartments tailored to devices like your phone, laptop, and camera, which you can adjust over time to fit your lifestyle.

They’re only dropping 100 units, and Girlsplains readers get exclusive access. 

Then there’s Zellerfeld, using 3D printing to create on-demand, custom-fit, fully recyclable shoes. Each pair is only printed when ordered, ensuring no overstock and a lower environmental impact.

The Smart Essentials

Wearable tech that’s (actually) chic ⌚️ 

Let’s be real, we’ve all been there. Some of these latest tech drops are giving “am I in a real-life Black Mirror episode”. But no, I’m not talking about THOSE clunky devices.

Today’s wearable tech is sleek, stylish, and yes — actually fashion-forward. Let’s start with the Oura Ring, which is designed to track everything from your sleep quality to your body temperature, all while looking like a minimal, chic ring. I’ll take my health data in gold please.

Then there’s the Apple Watch, which goes beyond just tracking steps. It’s become a true style staple, with customizable bands and even collabs that make it as fashionable as it is functional. Whether you’re checking texts, tracking your workout, or just flexing the latest band design, it’s redefining what it means to “wear” technology.

And we can’t forget the new Meta x Ray-Ban smart glasses. These shades let you take photos, listen to music, and access your digital life without even reaching for your phone. Think of them as the ultimate fusion of fashion and function, with a touch of spy vibes.

Gone are the days of chunky tech. Now, wearable devices are seamlessly blending into our style, proving that the future of fashion is about more than just looking good — it’s about being smart, too.
