As a huge wearable tech enthusiast, I’ve been following the Google story pretty closely – especially considering I’ve been experimenting in the field myself with the camera-enabled biker we designed (read about it on Forbes here). So when the official unveil announcement of the new “Levi’s Commuter x Jacquard by Google Trucker Jacket” came – I actually got pretty emotional and excited! This feels like a massive step towards what so many of us in this field have been trying to achieve. It’s a really enlightening and positive development that is aesthetically pleasing and I cannot wait to try this myself!
On an aesthetic level, it looks like a regular iconic Levi’s jacket. No visible tech, battery packs, add-ons etc. It’s beautiful and when you watch this video, you’ll understand why I became quite emotional over how dope this truly is and how much of a massive step towards human enhancement and where it could take human tech.
Up next are two songs that I wanted to share – one is from Paul McCartney & Wings Vs. Timo Maas & James Teej – Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five – which works as a seamless electro banger but with the vintage feel of McCartney’s voice.
Secondly, meet LYRA – a new artist I saw perform this week with Tasha Love from House of 27. Totally hypnotising performance and I love her visuals – definitely one to watch. Enjoy the track Rabbit In The Headlights below.
