Imogen Heap Goes High-Tech with Fashion at Grammy Awards

Posted on: Feb 1

Lady Gaga may have grabbed most of the headlines, but she wasn't the only kookily dressed star at the 52nd Grammy Awards. British singer-songwriter Imogen Heap was just as flamboyant in her high-tech ensemble.

Imogen shunned celebrity handbag favorites like Judith Leiber and Alexander McQueen for a transparent handbag. This clear accessory carried an iPhone which displayed photographs and videos as her online fans sent them.

The fans also had a part in her striking "Twitter dress." At first glance she seemed to be wearing a sheer black dress teamed with an oversized collar. But that collar was actually a digital sign which displayed the messages her fans were writing on her Twitter page. The tweets were sent to the necklace through a wireless router embedded inside the dress.

Imogen Heap said she created the eye-catching outfit so her fans could be part of the prestigious ceremony.

"I just thought it'd be nice for them to come with me so I've got a live Twitter feed from them," she said.

I'm not sure these fashion items will inspire any new trends, but aren't they fun?
