wei-chieh shih: laser suit


image: wei-chieh shih

taiwanese designer wei-chieh shih created this laser suit using 200 laser diodes attached to a special
jacket he designed. the small laser diodes are attached to a nylon jacket that covers the wearer’s
upper torso. the red lasers point out in all directions following the body’s curvature. the costume
looks like a spiky design in daylight and transforms into a series are bright straight red laser beams
when the lights are turned down. the final jacket design is the most finished piece, but wei-chieh shih
also created a series of samples such as a wrist strap shown below.

Nothing new under the sun, but this is just a blatant copy of Hussein Chalayan.

Sense? Who needs "sense" to have fun. Lighten up. You'll live longer.

This isn't a copy of Chalayan, but Waldemeyer.

Waldemeyer designed the electronics for the Chalayan robot dresses, but this is a blatant rip off of Waldemeyer's U2 jacket and Rihanna dress.

It's a pretty disgraceful piece of plagarism and I'm pretty surprised he had the cheek to submit it to designboom, let alone the fact that they only went and published it.

IP rights anyone?

What's so special about this?
It's a similar but crappier version of Hussein's work!

Waste of time.
