The Vanilla Series is a line of jackets connecting directly to your iPhone, allowing you dynamic control. Vanilla is modular so you can choose your own set of sensors; or go with the main "a" and "k" series. Vanilla "a" has five subtle indicators near the cuff which can be used in various ways. By default they indicate turns as your biking with the flick of a wrist.
Vanilla "k" is all about what you have to say with an 8 x 8 LED matrix embedded into the back of the jacket. Alexander Reeder
Lara Torres was winner of The Fashioning the Future Award for Unique Design 2011.
'An Impossible Wardrobe for the Invisible' is a project that examines the modern fashion designer’s task and opens a discussion on the current state of fashion. As a designer in today’s industry awareness and strong critical thought is key to tackling the fast and destructive nature of existing production models. Through this project Lara looked for a way of producing fashion that makes the wearer highly conscious of their clothing choices, using a video installation as medium she communicated ideas relating to the inherent disposability of so many of the things we buy.
