Cute Circuit is a London based fashion company, that focusses on creating clothes that can be described as 'wearable technology', clothing that integrates modern technology with the use of smart materials.
One of the obvious uses for smart technology would be the creation of a wearable mobile phone, and whilst Cute Circuit are not the first to bring a wearable phone to the market, the Cute Circuit M Dress is certainly one of the better looking efforts to date.
The dress is so designed to work with a standard SIM card, and aims to be an answer to the problem many women have of where to put their phone on a night out. The SIM card is placed in a small slot, underneath the label of the dress, and when a call comes in, the dress 'rings', and the call is answered by the simple action of raising of bringing your hand to your ear, whilst lowering the hand ends the call.
The circuitry of the handset is woven into the fabric of the dress itself, which helps to keep the dress simple and stylish, although it isn't instantly clear how one would initiate a call with the dress, and also, where does the battery go?
The dress is due to be launched in 2011.
