The big quirk of the design is the outfit’s buttons, which are basically just normal buttons except for the fact that they are magnetized so that you can swap out the separate outfit toppings at the drop of a hat.
If I’m buying modular clothing its gonna be covered in zippers like I’m in Kingdom Hearts. The magnets sound like a way to lose clothing to gusts of wind.
MagSafe and magnetic Qi chargers have been around for years. They’re also in many earbud cases and earbuds themselves (besides the transducer).
The problem isn’t that it’s magnetic, the problem is that it’s a solution to a problem almost nobody has, excepting perhaps people without upper limbs.
I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don’t care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.
Because as we know, shirts and other layers falling off our bodies is a problem we all face. And what we need to solve it is an over-engineered button.
I think they were trying to make changing the kind of clothes you are wearing fast. But thats just another non-issue that is not encountered by the average person.
It’s like they didn’t understand that snap buttons already snap together and come apart easily. Also if you’re gonna wear a jacket over the vest, you don’t even need them to connect to each other. It actually makes putting the stuff on and off more tedious.
I’ve recently heard that every artist goes through a “too many buttons and zippers” phase but this is ridiculous.
They look like normal snap buttons. What is the magnet even for?
Interesting idea but I fear magnets might have unintended side effects to phones and wearable electronics like headphones.

Pacemakers?

I just love this age of not solving any problems but, in fact, making more.
