These are territorial outfits - Anouk Wipprecht

Anouk Wipprecht is an Dutch  Designer and Innovator working in the emerging field of "FashionTech" - a rare combination of fashion design combined with engineering, robotics, science and interaction/user experience design to make fashion an experience that transcends mere appearances. She wants her garments to facilitate and augment the interactions we have with ourselves and our surroundings. Her Spider Dress is a perfect example of this aesthetic, where sensors and moveable arms on the dress help to create a more defined boundary of personal space while employing a fierce style. 

Dutch FashionTech Designer Anouk Wipprecht combines Fashion with Robotics, Interaction Design and Machine Learning for over 10 years to provoke her generation. http://www.anoukwipprecht.nl
"Unicorn Wearable Uses Neuroscience to Help Kids" SPARKS residency project 'Agent Unicorn' by Dutch FashionTech Designer Anouk Wipprecht, investigates an playful approach towards ADHD by a unicorn-horn shaped headset that logs the wearer’s observations through electroencephalography (EEG) Anouk Wipprecht is the first artist selected to come for a Sparks Residency at Ars Electronica Futurelab. Proving a sharp interest towards different ways in which the body can connect with technology devices, Anouk sees fashion as a promising token of electronic communication. Her designs monitor body signals, stress levels and measure out what happens in the surroundings. She regards her designs as case studies to better understand how the human body interacts with the environment. During her Sparks residency, Anouk used these concepts to develop a device that addresses mental health, giving concrete shape to the concept of RRI via fashion. The result is an art-deco style headpiece in the shape of a unicorn horn mounted on the head as an interface between the brainwaves and the surroundings. The device measures the state of the concentration in the brain and triggers a video capture when the electrical signals picked up by the EEG are high enough. This product aims to create a learning system that brings more self-awareness to the wearer. The designer wants to show people what engages them in their daily life, that is, what triggers their attention and moreover, what triggers their state of mind. Anouk Wipprecht’s approach as a designer is to get EEG devices out of the medical niche and find their use in the everyday life. The unicorn headpiece is a beautiful example of this approach, being able to show people which invasive events during the day have had a strong impact on the brain’s activity. This is particularly useful for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as it suggests a point of departure for concrete therapeutic measures, by showing when changes in attention intervene and what triggers them. About her creation Anouk Wipprecht said: ‘Wearing 
this
 unicorn
 horn-shaped 
agent 
is
 a
 way
 for
 children
 to
 escape
 being socially stigmatized. It
 demonstrates 
in
 a
 playful 
way 
that
 by 
giving
 current
 medical
 devices
 a 
fashionable 
twist, you
 can
 create
 something
 which 
is 
easier 
to
 digest
 from
 an
 UX (user experience) state
 of
 mind.’ short movie: https://vimeo.com/159081115 blog post: http://www.aec.at/aeblog/en/2016/03/15/agent-unicorn/
