Tennis ace Sharapova unveils blinking phone dress

So far the marriage between fashion and technology has brought clothes barely worthy of a headline in the goofball section of the news. Say, like this:

Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova presented a prototype dress to reporters that is designed to light up when the wearer’s mobile telephone rings.

What?

I’ve seen other odd offspring like this and it’s discouraging. Is there some designer whose actually doing something useful and interesting. Something some might actually want to use and wear. Will it have to be Apple that leapfrogs over everyone else with the iRGB shirt?
