Imogen Heap Rocks Twitter-Designed Haute Couture at Grammys

by Leila Brillson on February 1, 2010 at 06:35 PM

Even though Lady Gaga is the de facto conceptual fashionista on any red carpet these days, Brit songstress Imogen Heap decided to bring her social media prowess with her to the Grammys last night. Heap, whose 'Eclipse' was nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, was wearing a frock that was relatively normal, save the Elizabethan-style LED collar, the wireless router soldered in back, and the iPhone displaying a real-time Twitter feed. As a result, when her fans tweeted the hashtag #twitdress, their tweets would show up on her pocketbook-sized screen, allowing them to "accompany her on the red carpet."

Imogen fans could upload pictures and messages, which, when she finally won out (over fellow Briton Dido) and took the podium, she held up for them all to see. Clearly, Ms. Heap has more of a communitarian spirit than she does sartorial sense (as her oddly similar but more sloppy 2007 outfit reveals), but her DIY attitude and love of live-blogging (and a simple A-line) belies an intellectual creativity. Plus, we're always interested in an artist who brings an audience into her performance. Regardless, it's refreshing after pants-less bodysuits and poodles. [From: Mashable]
