Make It Wearable | Solar-Powered Fashion That Charges Your Phone

- What if you could charge your device using your clothing? In Episode 4 of The Concepts, we talk to designer Pauline van Dongen about her Wearable Solar project that shows how solar cells can be integrated into fashion, repurposing clothes as alternative energy sources. Pauline speaks to how the line could evolve through factors like better battery life and washability, as well as its potential impact on the future of woven textiles and fabrics.

Hats can be best spot for solar, no need for regular wash and is directly exposed to sunlight
This is amazing, great idea can't wait to see this out would love to be involved and model for this
It's only a prototype guys and it's also the beginning of an idea. It will look ridiculous right now but if you continue to support it then it might actually become the newest trend. If you were raised during the time when cars, computers or even phones were invented I'm sure you'd regret what you would have said about them.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
This is something I always thought fashion clothes should head into since clothes been one of the biggest greenhouse contributors.
Good idea !
Awesome designs too
Great!
I support this project :)
If you treat all the fabric with the NeverWet spray that is out on the market commercially you will not have to wash the garment as water sweat and dirt rolls right off of it
interesante saludos
Any updates?
Good idea for backpacks and other type of bags but clothes? Let's be realistic here no one would where any of that stuff unless it's not uncomfortable and it looks like normal clothes and it doesn't in this case
Make it washable.
I love her designs.. especially the coat. Experimental fashion design isn't as new, but some of the challenges still are the same.. such as wearability, washability etc. What is wrong with a "Klingon" look is a mystery to me, though. There are plenty of fashion designs available that "insult" my eyes a lot more than these.
Awsome idea But a black Dress in The sun Would Cook you up
Where do you buy your little panels from ?
Have the solar components be detachable; the fabric is all that needs to be washed. Not a bad concept!
Why is the an image
I like the idea of wearable energy sources, but why solar? Why not something powered by body heat? I dunno, just an idea.
