Anrealage Debuts Color-Changing E Ink Dresses in Paris

Anrealage showed six color-changing dresses during Paris Fashion Week as part of its spring 2027 SKIN collection. The garments used E Ink Prism 3, with roughly 1,000 to 2,000 scale-like components that create programmable patterns while reflecting ambient light. The weekly materials roundup also notes Innovera's work on a demanding weave and EverDye's chemical credentials ahead of ITMA.

Anrealage’s six looks appeared during Paris Fashion Week in a spring 2027 line called “SKIN,” first shown Sept. 29. Each garment carried about 1,000–2,000 separate elements in a scale-like arrangement, allowing programmable color and pattern changes across the surface. E Ink Prism 3 reflects surrounding light rather than emitting its own, and its bistable nature means power is needed to switch an image, not to keep it visible.

The technology has moved beyond e-readers and electronic shelf labels into cars, interiors and accessories, including Delvaux bags in 2024. E Ink framed multiple looks from one garment as more sustainable creative expression, but offered no product-level environmental assessment. The company did not say how the dresses were powered, how much the parts weighed, whether they could be cleaned or if they would be sold. The weekly roundup also noted Innovera’s demanding weave and EverDye’s chemical credentials ahead of ITMA.
