Fashion is moving into the twenty-first century. A coat can change its color with the weather; a shirt
with stripes (条纹) that will disappear while you are wearing it; a blouse can be worn for days and days
without a bad smell... These are not dreams of scientists. They were made possible in the fashion world.
A jacket changes its color in warm weather and costs between $ 40 and $ 5, 000. Peter White, a designer,
says "There are not much more designers can do with the old cloth. They need to make new kinds of cloth to
keep fashion interesting."
Massimo Osti is the man who has brought this unusual cloth to the shops. Another of Osti's inventions
has a design of the company's trademark (商标) on the chest, which disappears when you breathe on it. Now
there is a special kind of leisure wear (休闲服) for golfers who like to practice in any kind of weather. As
golfers leave the warm club house, their clothes will change from white to rainbow (彩虹) of colors.
A Japanese company has developed a man-made fiber (纤维), it can absorb (吸收) sunlight and keep the
wearer up to 10 ℃ warmer than usual fibers. A kind of new cloth for ski-wear can turn black to absorb
sunlight when the temperature drops to below zero, and change to white at above 5 ℃.
In the Far East and Europe, there are many blouses which have a pleasing smell. The sweet smell lasts
up to three hand-washes.
