Elegant Equations is developing a line of "smart" sleepwear called Sleepwear 2.0 that incorporates technology to help regulate temperature, block light, and block/play soothing sounds. The fabrics for the sleepwear are inspired by works of Southern California artist Ken Price currently on display at LACMA. Nine fabric designs reference five artists who have influenced fashion designers, with the answers embedded in the designs. Participants can identify the artists/designers for a chance to win a free sleepwear set. A preview event will be held at LACMA in January to showcase the collection.

CREATIVE BREAKTHROUGHS
Elegant Equations: Redesigning Everyday Life Weve spent the last several years exploring how to help people with environmentally triggered sleep disorders sleep soundly through the night. Weve observed countless sleep environments and examined how people use them. Weve also consulted with trailblazing scientists who specialized in areas such as nanotechnology and computer clothing.
Smart Clothes While doing our research, we glimpsed the future of clothing design: smart clothes, computer clothing, wearable computers, temperature-controlled clothing, and much more. The possibilities excited us, and then we had a creative breakthrough. Shortly thereafter, Sleepwear 2.0 was born.
Improved Sleep Environments Following the advice of experts from the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School and elsewhere, we are committed to helping people turn their bedrooms into a sleep-inducing environment. Our solution: a line of sleepwear that will help men, women, and children cope with three of the most common problems related to the sleep environment.
The Science of Sleepwear 2.0 Weve patented our unique brand of smart sleepwear to ensure that you sleep through the night in a cool, dark, and quiet environment. The ensemble includes three main items, which can be purchased separately or as a set: Temperature-controlled pajamas will keep your body temperature at an optimal level. Technologically enhanced eye masks will block all light. Advanced ear plugs will block all sound and periodically play soothing music of your choice.
Art + Science We knew that offering revolutionary sleepwear alone was not enough. Our collection would have to be attractive too, so people would want to wear our technologically enhanced pajamas and accessories. Thats why our fashion-forward designers decided to pair the latest science of sleepwear with the visions of leading artists. Because were a Southern California design firm and we passionately support local art museums and gallerieswe pledged to draw inspiration from art exhibitions in the area.
The Art of Sleepwear 2.0 The fabric designs of our spring collection were inspired by an exhibition at the Los County Museum of Art (LACMA):
Fashion Challenges Although our designers are still working on the spring collection, they have finished designing the fabrics from which the pajamas, eye masks, and other accessories will be made. As you explore these nine designs in the following preview, imagine yourself sleeping soundly in comfy pajamas inspired by the art of the late Ken Price, a Southern California sculptor who has been described as total magic. To celebrate the launch of the Ken Price collection, well be giving away sleepwear sets to the first nine people who solve our fashion challenge: Identify five artists who have influenced fashion designers, and name the designers whom theyve influenced. The answers were looking for are embedded in the fabric designs.
