Markus Kison's project "CharmingBurka" which I modeled at this years Seamless show, is featured today in Engadget. Watch pictures & video (it is me walking in a burka, down an electric escalator!)

Funny how I found out.. My friend Luis found it and emailed me this:

dude

I was reading my daily tech blogs when I saw this. I was intrigued by
what the headline suggested. IN any event I clicked on the pix and BAM
there you go. Your photo appears on the cell phone screen identifying
you as one of woman wearing a burka. I then proceeded to watch the
video and saw it was in Boston.. well there you go. hmmmm
coincidence???
