Financial Review profiles an interesting new trend: tech-powered fashion. 

Hoodies to help you sleep? Solar-powered puffers to keep you warm? Jackets made with copper fibres to repel viruses? These are just some of the ideas of twin brothers Steve and Nick Tidball are exploring.

So far, the twins have created a carbon fibre T-shirt to protect the skin from cuts and scrapes, a sleep cocoon designed to be worn in space to regulate astronauts’ circadian rhythms, solar-powered jackets and a jacket made with copper fibres to repel bacteria and viruses. This year it will debut the Garbage Watch, made entirely of tech waste.

They invented a lot of other items as well, and we imagine there will eventually be innovations with hats as well. We are looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.
