2 wearable information displays integrated in clothing, aiming to increase the self-awareness & reflection of its wearers. the "Smoking Jacket" has a built-in pair of lungs on the front. as the wearer smokes, the lungs fill up with the exhaled cigarette smoke & begin to gradually darken over time.
the "Malignant Mole Bikini" appears normal when not in direct sunlight. wen exposed to UV light, dark moles begin to appear in various places on the bikini. in contrast to the numerical depiction on the UV meter smart bikini, the information is visualized in a more direct, visceral manner while also maintaining a comical approach.

Great find...
especially the jacket with built in 'lungs'... I think a similar product should be made and hung up in public places so people become more aware of the effects of second hand smoke.
