Al entrar nos encontramos con dos bebés gigantes que se mueven, un vestido hecho de microfibras que parecen cabellos, a modo de melena gigante, diseñado por Ben Gregory, un vestido que se disuelve con el agua de Helen Storey, o otro diseñado por Alyce Santoro hecho a partir de cintas de audio, que al entrar en contacto con un magnetófono produce sonidos. También podemos encontrar muestras de textiles fotoluminiscentes, termocromáticos, cosmetotextiles, colchones con propiedades afrodisíacas, o tejidos que cambian de estampado al entrar en contacto con el agua. Y por último en la sala oscura descubrimos unos maravillosos vestidos hechos con fibra óptica que se iluminan de colores cambiantes.
En resumen, es una exposición muy divertida y curiosa de ver!

Yesterday we went to the exhibition "Future Textiles" that you can see in the Museu Marítim de Barcelona until the 2th of April, I really recommend you don't miss the chance to go there and take a look!!
At the entrance we find two giant babies moving, a dress made out of microfibers that seem hair, like a giant mane designed by Ben Gregory, a dress that can be dissolved in water from Helen Storey, or an other one designed by Alyce Santoro made from audio tapes, which when it come into contact with a tape recorder produces sounds. We can also find samples of photoluminescent textile, thermochromic, cosmetotextiles, aphrodisiac mattresses, or textiles that changes its pattern when contact with water. And finally in the dark room we find some wonderful dresses made with optical fiber that produces light with changing colors.
In short, is a very fun and curious exhibition to watch!
