Fucking magnets. Saved you a click.
(Magnetic clothing buttons have already been invented. Repeatedly. You can buy 20 for six bucks on Amazon.)

Well you see, when two magnets love each other very much…
They have very rough hatefucking sex with each other. The face slapping, throat grabbing kind.
And that’s where baby magnets come from.
I mean… that description is not far from the truth! Many small baby magnets created by two big magnets smashing together.
Baby clothing has had this for many years, and I believe male strippers use these to make their pants easy to remove and reassemble for repetitive stripping.
Or just dudes who are lazy but also don’t wanna sleep in their pants! You don’t necessarily have to be a stripper to enjoy the many benefits of magnetic pants, is all I’m saying.
“Get those magnets wet and boom, no more magnet.” -djt
Hah, you clean your clothes. What a low socio economic peasant. I just throw them away when they get old. /s
I burn mine after use, can’t risk those poors getting their hands on them.
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.
Is that an actual quote?
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.
“There wasn’t some arrogant ambition around disruption [of buttons],” Ive told the outlet. “It was a very gentle, humble exploration.”
that can’t be real… oh no. wtaf!
Congrats on inventing a $150 button, Jony.
No AI??? And it’s considered a new invention? Meh!
You can tell he wasn’t that interested in writing this, but he’s clearly being told he has to, and I have to admit I agree.
The guys made a top, I don’t care.
Exactly. My need for a coat/jacket is already satisfied, and fashion really isn’t something I care about. I also don’t care about this designer.
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.
MagSafe and magnetic Qi chargers have been around for years. They’re also in many earbud cases and earbuds themselves (besides the transducer).
The problem isn’t that it’s magnetic, the problem is that it’s a solution to a problem almost nobody has, excepting perhaps people without upper limbs.
I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don’t care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.
Pacemakers?
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.
You’re allowed to add buttons? I thought modern phones only took them away.
They moved them to jackets and made them magnetic.
Looks slick
