Turn-signal jacket gives cyclists direction. While we're usually the first to point out how dorky it is the wear clothes that light up, this LED jacket, designed by Leah Buechley, qualifies as the exception.
The lights on the back of it are arranged in arrow patterns — a great way for cyclists to let cars and bikes behind them know if they're turning. As long as the controls are easy to use, it should be great, though it might be bad if they're easy to accidentally trigger… no one wants to see the bicycle equivalent of the forever-blinking turn signal. Once you're indoors, the jacket has multiple uses — from directing people to the men's room to letting them know how you plan to vote in November. Index.

Design Concepts: Future Fashion. The Web is teeming with the unrealized ideas of both students and established designers who set out to produce astonishing renderings and prototypes for unusual products.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, money, or technology, many of those products never progress from the planning stages to the mass market. But that doesn't mean we can't salivate over them, nevertheless. Devotees of our Design Concepts column know that we already covered LED dresses back in January, but we're not quite done with fashion. We realized that we were being very narrow-minded when it came to the collusion of fashion and tech, and that our attire doesn't need to light up to qualify as clothing of the future (although we've included a few more articles that do).
We thought about processes and materials, but mostly about wearability.
