taking it to the streets

Angel Chang's upcoming Spring presentation was inspired by a visit to the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., but it's more Alias than Mata Hari. This is the third collection from Chang, who was recently nominated for a Cartier Women's Initiative Award, which supports female entrepreneurs. The designer, a former fashion writer who interned at Viktor & Rolf, has made the intersection of fashion and technology her calling card (her first collection included raincoats that lit up). One of Chang's most delightful innovations for Spring is a Manhattan map print that she developed in conjunction with Red Maps (they also did the show invite), which publishes guides for the design-centric crowd. The heat-sensitive print only becomes legible when exposed to warmth—from the touch of a hand, say. One thing to keep in mind: Chang's newfangled, lo-fi take on the GPS pretty much eliminates the "I got lost" excuse for tardiness.
