Diana Eng, our pal and founding member of NYC Resistor, has a new book coming out next month, Fashion Geek: Clothes Accessories Tech [Preorder], in which she’ll be showing you how to mod your clothing to add little hacky flourishes, like these sneakers in the above video that have EL wire inside.
When I move to Oregon I hope to connect with some of the crafty types in Portland (and Eugene if they’re around) to start building a custom wardrobe. I don’t think it’ll be all that much more expensive than buying off-the-rack clothing, especially if I pare it down to just a few reusable pieces.
