Kim Mesches utilizes heat-activated technology in his Collection 5 to craft color-changing resin tops and dresses. The thermochromic dyes and pigments mix with hardened resin, allowing the outfits to alter hues upon contact with heat.
The resin tops and dresses not only change colors when exposed to heat but also serve as sculptural artworks independently. Kim Mesches' concept embodies fluidity and synthesis through chemical reactions, visible as the pieces evolve and revert to their original state.
Heat-activated technology is increasingly prevalent in the fashion industry, with examples like color-shifting jackets and garments tailored with heat-activated yarns. Thermal-reactive jackets for winter and summer puffers are also gaining popularity.
