Purple Rain

Honored this year at the Ethical Fashion Show was Dahea Sun, a Korean-born designer based in London, whose goal is to increase awareness of acid raid, pollution, and other environmental issues.  Sun created clothing that when exposed to rain, changes color based on the acidity through the use of water-soluble pigments. The garments are literally pH indicators.  On top of her fantastic mission, the clothes are gorgeous.
Check out her website for more information.

The textures Sun creates with the silk are unreal.

The effect of various acid levels on the color of fabric.
