Description

Using 3D printing software and AHEAD technology, the Lila Suit is a maternity garment designed to aid in cases of extreme heat due to future climate change. The stomach area expands, enabling the wearer to feel comfort and support as the pregnancy develops. The sides of the suit contain inflatable technology, connecting to the AHEAD sensor, which measures the mother’s nutrients and the baby’s vital signs and heart rate. The cooling thermofibres of the suit enable the expectant mother to stay active, whilst the suit becomes a nursing top to keep her healthy after the baby is born.
