Welcome fashion gazers and gadget lovers alike! Recent developments in the device and networking space as well as
the imagination and ingenuity of people have taken us into a new realm of portability backed personalisation. Only a few
years ago if you asked people on the street about mobile data or what they wanted next from their mobile phone, they
looked at you funny (I know, I did it!). These days, you get 3-5 solid answers from each and they want to know why they
can't have it now! The value of mobile to the consumer and business community has been a global phenomenon that's
about to take us past the billion mark of GSM users worldwide. The power of constant online connectivity adds the last
missing link to a new functionality equation that I believe will increase these numbers both in user and revenue terms.
The time is right and the 3GSM World Congress is the place to show how mobile will continue to increase its role in
everyday life in a very practical, personal and user friendly way. Mobile has become a key ingredient in a new formula for
combining Fashion, Function and Fun. The result is an emerging breed of fashion accessories, lifestyle enhancers and
modern tools for the workplace. We invite you to have a glimpse at these in "Cool and Connected," the Wearable
Technology Fashion Show.

The desire to extend the human body is amply evident in film, fashion and art. In numerous examples from these disciplines, the body is seen as an armature, a form to be extended, enlarged and «improved». The exhibition shows a wide sampling of bodily extensions, from the real to the fantastic, symbolic to the silly, and examines the reasons for this apparently universal human desire. Body extensions come in all imaginable (and some not-so-imaginable) forms. Sometimes the entire body is enlarged; sometimes just a single element, whether in performances like those of Rebecca Horn, where the head and hands are drastically elongated, or the robotic third arm of Australian performance artist Stelarc. The extended form created by a Vivienne Westwood haute couture creation is but another take on the same issue, as are selected works from other fashion designers in the exhibition. Body Extensions shows how the body is re formed, expanded and enlarged to take on new symbolic meaning, either symbolically or to increase physical attraction.

Swiss Design 2004 presents the works by winners of the federally sponsored annual design competition. The exhibition is presented by the Swiss Federal Department of Culture (BAK), the sponsors of the competition, which has become one of the most important platforms for the development of new design talent in Switzerland. Graphics, textiles, photography, fashion, industrial and stage design are all represented in the show. Prize winners have been selected not only on aesthetic, formal or technical criteria, but also in terms of the emotional message of their works. Thus, the presentation of the works themselves plays and important role in their effectiveness. Indeed, the presentations, often developed in collaboration with partners, underline the importance of communication for designers, including the creative application of corresponding tools .

The inspiration often comes from exhibitions,? says Dall?Olio, ?like the one on Bugatti, which made me want to use gold, rope and bronze, or the one on Lyon in the 1700s, with the striking rustic damasks.? But apart from the world of culture, stimuli can also come from the wrappers of chocolates, a cartoon, a gadget, the new Asian luxury or ancient Japanese folklore. Dall?Olio?s archives contain a myriad of documents - textile relics like lace, kimonos, old curtains, handbags, shoes and clothing, but also objects of all kinds, crafts and plastic toys.
To balance out this kaleidoscopic blend the studio, designed by Arch. Danilo Parisio, is geometric, white, orderly, like a big container for fragments. The ability of people who work on trends lies in seeing, in advance, the small changes that announce major movements: ?I watch fashion, but I am attracted by things that are out of tune, distractions with respect to the overall guidelines of the collections. watch fashion, but I am attracted by things that are out of tune, distractions with respect to the overall guidelines of the collections Dall'Olio says. I trust my changes of taste: all of a sudden I like something different than before, so I start there on a new r
