Projects by Diffus presented to crown princess Mary of Denmark

The “UV-Dress”, the “Climate dress” and the “Solar Bag” played  a central role while princess Mary actively  participated in a exhibition about Climate, environment and health issues. Our work with Smart textiles triggered curiosity at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen. Also curiosity from princess Mary which enthusiastically asked many questions while she got introduced to our latest projects.
The UV dress-project had its mediatic debuts the day before, during the evening talk show on DR1, the Danish main TV Channel. It is a symbolic dress, emphasizing todays anxieties regarding environmental issues and an eager to protect ourselves from climatic threats. A protective skin which may open or close in order to filter the amount of UV radiations which impacts our body. The dress is made out of many apertures, similar to those known in photographic cameras. Connected to an UV sensor. the apertures react in real time to the  surrounding conditions by allowing an ever changing amount of radiation to reach our skin.
