Blinking is the new vibrate

Maria Sharapova helped in the unveiling of a new dress (left) that lights up when the wearer’s mobile phone rings. British fashion student, Georgie Davies, designed this innovative dress for a school project and has partnered with Sony Ericsson in bringing new technology to fashion.

Davies said the dress was designed to connect to the wearer’s phone via Bluetooth technology. “When you’re in a pub or a bar, you can never, ever hear your phone,” Davies told Reuters. The good thing is this dress is actually wearable and not at all overly Sci-Fi-looking. The dress is knee-length, white, short-sleeved, and is embellished along one side with translucent white scales (think square paillettes) that move and light up”

I would wear it even if it didn’t light up. I think it’s super cute, but nonetheless it’s still a great invention so kudos to Georgie.
