IM A GERMAPHOE AND IM PROUD. THOSE DRESSES ARE UGLY THOUGH...

One frivolous comment: your models themselves look a bit like "bacteria" specimens in those outfits (they ARE very sci-fi, but then the idea is, at this point, "out there" in the first place).

On a more serious note: As usaul, the Bottom Line is truly the bottom line.

There are plenty of people who, outside of the paranoia-invoked sense of peril over their contaminated world (their "Monk" tendencies), are truly in need of help to ward off the impending invasion to their bodies by germs, which will attack their immune systems and cause havoc, also requiring medications and other treatments to help save their lives.

It would be nice to think that both designers and manufacturers of products such as these being touted as the "latest techo-designed-socially-engineered fashion trends" would consider the real social and economic impact to society and actually LOWER the cost to produce these products, thereby both saving lives (or at least raising the quality of life for people at risk) and at the same time increasing the probability that more people could actually purchase this commodity simply because it WOULD BE more affordable.

The key here is Marketing the product in a more "down to earth" fashion, pardon the pun, and taking the "sci-fi" aspect out of it so that the general population could see the benefits and also find the investment worthwhile. Just think about all of us allergy sufferers who might consider buying such outfits if it meant avoiding a skin rash or such.

The medical community would also have to "chime in" with enough support to make the consideration to buy these products part of an overall viable solution to a person's health problems or concerns. Of course, the impact to the Phamaceutical Industry could create a dampening effect, as they clamor to offset or block efforts to produce a product that acts as a barrier and thereby eliminates the need for a curative or paliative treatment strategy.

$10,000 a YARD? You might as well live in a mobile bubble; it's probably cheaper.

that is the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard.
Oh its great for the clothing stores & manufacturers to make $$$ from realy stupid IDIOTS.
antibacterial clothing... give me a F break ! ! !
isn't capitolism awesome ! make tons of money from stupid people.

This "fashion" might sound cool to some, but it's an extremely bad idea. My mom was constantly washing her hands and using anti-bacterial this, and anti-bacterial that...and guess what? SHE was the one that was always sick!! I kept telling her that if she kept using that crap that her body's natural defenses would be compromised and she would have a difficult time fending off any type of viruses etc. and like I said, she was always sick.

So...what ever happened to common sense? You don't need anti-bacterial stuff to wash your hands. Just wash after you use the restroom (amazes me how many people DON'T do this...GROSS!!) before any type of food prep, and keeping your distance when around people with colds or the flu. I'm 49 and the last time I had the flu I was 12, and I haven't had a cold in at least 8 or 9 years. Secret is taking a shot of Nyquil and hopping into bed the moment you begin to feel cold symptoms coming on...my kids haven't had a cold in years either.

Mmm, sound expensive and bad for you. Why would you want to dish out this much for chemically treated clothes. If you want anti-bacterial clothes, hemp clothes are the way to go, in addition to the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial qualities of hemp, (they also don't absorb body odors) it is also environmentally friendly. And nowadays you can get cute and fashionable styles. (check out www.hoodlamb.com)
