A dress with pleats “hypersensitive”, a cloak that protects against pollution, a flap of tissue that distributes the music … The Textile Museum Lyon textile exhibits “intelligent” between fashion and art.
Organized in the framework of the Biennale of Contemporary Art, this exhibition, called “The fabric in all its senses,” opened its doors to the public Friday and runs through February 21, 2010. It honors twelve creators from France, Canada, Finland and Germany.
“These technical fabrics and functional entered the fashion there ten years in a rather anecdotal. But now they exceed the gadget side,” said museum director, Maria-Anne Privat-Savigny, suggesting these new tissue generation, called “communicating” that react to light, heat or friction.

“Technology now adapting clothing and these materials will become involved in fashion to come,” says Ms. Privat-Savigny, citing the creation of avant-garde Ted Lapidus, Paco Rabanne or Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.
A pioneer in the field, the designer Elisabeth de Senneville has a special place: in 1981, she imagines a collection welded plastic, a textile used by NASA. In 1999, it recurs with linen garments welded, based on micro-caps and fiber optic woven.
“Given its modernity, it was essential that it is the exhibition catalog,” says Privat-Savigny.
Four of the designer clothes are exposed: a “cloak pollution” on the grounds that cloud blocks the road dust and microbes, a “dress motorcycle” orange neoprene perforated material commonly used in wetsuits, a “coat flax fiber woven “and a jacket” anti-magnetic “supposed to help counter the harmful waves.
The three dresses of the series “Walking City” by Canadian author Ying Gao, whose folds in white cloth reminiscent of the art of Japanese origami, they hide on micro-sensors sensitive to sounds and movements.
With the approach of a viewer, the tissue swells and folds come alive, the dress that turns into a real “living organism”.
In the same vein, Pietro Seminella, pleated specialist, sees clothing as a “second skin, a dress defensive or armor, using dyes turning to bronze for its work, poetically entitled” On the heavens “and” Reflections moon “.
Another pioneer, set in the world, Finland’s Maija Lavonen, who weaves for decades and flax fiber optics to create “light sculptures”.
Florence Bost imagines his hand to the “Whispers” fish, made of a fabric incorporating micro-speaker, MP3 chip and a wire electro-luminescent, while Brigitte Amarger draws “bridal veil” air combining glue micro-beads and glass beads. Now, you also can get your own unique brand using custom trading pins as a first marketing tool.
