Silver A' Design Award recipients are recognized for their contribution to raising industry standards and advancing the practice of design. Their work often incorporates original innovations and elicits a strong emotional response, making a notable impact on the improvement of everyday life.
Regarding Color Change Clothing
Color Change is a garment made from temperature-sensitive materials. The fabric changes color when it meets body heat, sunlight or the warmth of another person. Close contact such as a hug therefore becomes visible on the surface of the clothing. The pattern is cut to highlight the structural lines of the garment, and these lines are closed with adhesive tape. The tape does not react to temperature, so it stays fixed while the surrounding fabric shifts in color. The contrast between the two materials makes hidden changes in warmth easy to see.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The chemical interaction between people: hugs, breathes, kisses, and the temperature of the human body changes with the acceleration of the heartbeat. These changes in temperature and energy are in a state that cannot be seen with the eyes. unpredictable. The original intention of this design is to use temperature-changing materials to visualize these changes hidden in things. Design the clothing version to highlight the structural lines and use stickers to close the structural lines.
- Inspiration
- The original intention of this design is to use temperature-varying materials to visualize things that cannot be observed with the eyes. The design uses structural thread to highlight the clothing structure, which is a three-dimensional plane fabric.
