英國小學生自創"鋼筆禮服"挑戰Gaga大綱
或許論世界上奇形怪狀的衣服而言，嘎嘎小姐所穿衣服的設計師會當之無愧地登上詭異服裝設計師名單的寶座了。但是，最近由倫敦中央聖·馬丁時尚學校的學生自己設計的服裝絕對能把嘎嘎小姐當初“紅極一時”的“生牛肉裝”給逼到絕路。令人感到不可思議的是，這件堪稱“絕無僅有”的時尚外套由795個“鋼筆筆尖”整齊排列而成，而且每一個筆尖都與小型發動機線路鏈接而成，讓筆尖可以產生“震動”的效果。
Student fashion: The dress has been crafted out of 795 caligraphy pen nibs - and they are all connected to small motors that make them vibrate The Pen Nib Dress is a cream A-line number with a rectangular panel covered in metal nibs on the front of the gown. It was designed and made by creative technologist John Nussey and Central St. Martins Womenswear student Steven Tai for his final degree show.
這件有意思的號稱“鋼筆禮服”是倫敦中央聖·馬丁時尚學校學生Steven Tai 的畢業作品，據悉，該學生的畢業作品還藉助了創意大師John Nussey 之手共同創作而成。類似睡衣禮服的前側由金屬鋼筆筆尖“矩形成弧度”排列而成。Speaking to , Nussey said that the final result was achieved through a lot of trial and error: 'We looked at a number of different ways to make the pen nibs move and how to wire up that number of nibs 'n had strong ideas as to how many he wanted, and we had to get enough of the nibs to make an impact.
談到怎樣才能使得筆尖自己震動起來，學生Nussey分享了他的創意：“我們爲了使得鋼筆筆尖產生震動的效果，費了不少勁，以及怎麼將鋼筆筆尖與電線聯繫都費了一番功夫，最後，我們覺得必須要一定鋼筆筆尖的數量才能達到我們想要的效果。”
'It was finding a balance between the technical possibilities and the creative idea.' They eventually settled for the same motors that make mobile phones vibrate because they are cheap and don't require very much power. Rows of metal pen nibs were then linked together with a switch for every different row which meant that they could all be activated separately. Moving one row as a time gives the panel on the front of the dress a beautiful shimmering effect. The speed and pattern of movement can be changed to create a range of different effects.
他還補充到：“最後，我們發現能讓手機產生震動效果的原理同樣可以應用於我們的設計當中，這種原理一旦實現起來不僅成本低、而且不用非多少電。可以讓我們找到技術與創意的最佳平衡點。有意思的是，每一行的筆尖都有一個單獨的控制開關，可以將任意一行鋼筆筆尖任意搖動，這樣模特在試穿這件衣服走T臺時，前排的觀衆就可以看到衣服前面的奇妙效果，而且鋼筆筆尖的晃動速度都可以自行調節。”據悉，這件畢業作品禮服重量可不輕，該學生透露，衣服重量可達：14公斤，看來模特想要衣着漂亮服飾受到衆人讚歎，也必須時刻準備着爲藝術而犧牲啊！
