Fucking magnets. Saved you a click.
(Magnetic clothing buttons have already been invented. Repeatedly. You can buy 20 for six bucks on Amazon.)
Fucking magnets.
How do they work?
Well you see, when two magnets love each other very much…
How is using magnets a “new button”?
Disabled folks who can’t fasten buttons have been using magnet closures for a while. This guy adds the ability to decorate it and that’s a new button? They had changeable button covers for fun in the ‘80s.
“Get those magnets wet and boom, no more magnet.” -djt
DJT actually knows a lot about how magnets work I’d say way more than most people, a lot of people actually. They all say so.
They look like normal snap buttons. What is the magnet even for?
The big quirk of the design is the outfit’s buttons, which are basically just normal buttons except for the fact that they are magnetized so that you can swap out the separate outfit toppings at the drop of a hat.
Because as we know, shirts and other layers falling off our bodies is a problem we all face. And what we need to solve it is an over-engineered button.
I think they were trying to make changing the kind of clothes you are wearing fast. But thats just another non-issue that is not encountered by the average person.
It’s like they didn’t understand that snap buttons already snap together and come apart easily. Also if you’re gonna wear a jacket over the vest, you don’t even need them to connect to each other. It actually makes putting the stuff on and off more tedious.
I’ve recently heard that every artist goes through a “too many buttons and zippers” phase but this is ridiculous.
I just love this age of not solving any problems but, in fact, making more.
Interesting idea but I fear magnets might have unintended side effects to phones and wearable electronics like headphones.
If I’m buying modular clothing its gonna be covered in zippers like I’m in Kingdom Hearts. The magnets sound like a way to lose clothing to gusts of wind.
