Brassieres pop up surprisingly often at Giz... and here're a few more tech-laden ones: the LumiTops. They're from Lumigram, and have fibre optics that emit a "soft and sensusous" glow when you connect up their batteries, thereby ensuring that the wearer's boobs become even more eye-grabbing than usual. The batteries are interchangeable and are good for up to 12 hours of party-going glow. There's also other clothing in the evening-wear range, including shawls and men's clothing, but frankly these items are the best, don't you think? Prices range from US$145 to US$250 at the online store. [Lumigram via Inventorspot]

Remember those green LED suits that were part of the Olympics Opening Ceremonies? They were a bit alien, but boy did the outfits create a remarkable artistic effect. Who knows? Maybe this fibre optic and LED clothing by Lumigram would be equally wondrous if worn by 2008 club-going ladies. But on its own accord, our inner fashion designer voice is whispering "pass" ever so gently. Besides, US$250 is too much to pay for any piece of clothing that exposes our navel before we lose some weight. [LumiGram via InventorSpot]

A man ahead of his time, Steve Jobs not only developed the first iPhone circuit board prototype more than 20 years ago (though Woz did all the work), he pioneered the popped collar trend that's sweeping tanning salons, batting cages, and car modding shops everywhere. DBags everywhere salute you, sir. [Natuba]

You know that sweaty guy who always comes into work smelling like an armpit? Yeah, you know who I'm talking about--and if you don't, "that guy" is probably you. Thanks to AOKI, you won't have to tolerate the funny looks, wrinkled noses and giggle-laden whispers of your co-workers any longer. The translation is shaky, but their new line of deodorising suits claim to absorb sweat, suck out odour and provide antibacterial protection using the power of silver ions. They also run about US$370 on sale. Unfortunately, if you don't live in Japan you will just have to continue being the smelly office outcast. [Rakuten via Crunchgear]

For those of you who've finally repressed Frucci's homoerotic slow-mo watergun facial montage, we'd like to offer a piece of apparel to commemorate the occasion (and bring back painful memories). By ReThink clothing, the Super Soaker T-shirt gives a metallic sheen to the classic water weapon, putting it on aesthetic par with something far more deadly. Like a Super Soaker 2000, or something.

EroGear is an LED clothing startup that embeds bright, eye-burning lights in otherwise drab cotton. And while their current LED jackets look perfect for late night runners and bicyclists, EroGear is actually courting a different group given the high price tag--the DJ who's looking to distinguish himself in a dark nightclub. The only downside is that since EroGear's fashion is still "in the design phase," custom LED jackets as seen in this clip cost about US$1,500 a pop. And for that much, we'd need nothing less than a full-out TRON 2 bodysuit. [EroGear]

Guitarists may get all the chicks, but some of us loudly and proudly played less popular instruments and heck, we ought to get a chance to be a hero too! While I plead with Harmonix to include the noble Euphonium in their next music game, you other band geeks can show solidarity with your instrument of choice by wearing it on your shirt. Torsopants has a crazy collection of Guitar Hero parodies for almost every musical player out there. Banjo Hero? Kazoo Hero? Didgeridoo Hero? All yours for US$19 plus shipping.

Remember we showed you the awesome WeRobot T-shirt? Maker Chop Shop has just stumped-up with two new versions, peppered with pics of famous movie, game and TV icons. This time though, there's a suite of aliens on the AlienWe version and cars and bikes on the WeGo. Check out both T-shirts in detail below. Is that the original Batmobile?

Hey girls, can't decide whether or not to wear that midriff-bearing shirt out to the bar tonight? No worries, simply don this Venetian blind t-shirt and yank on the fully functional string when Joe Hotty walks by. Sure it's ridiculous, but it's also one-of-its-kind, and available only at art museums for the time being. Just don't be too peeved when some drunk mistakes your shirt for an actual window and pukes all over your chest. [Shikisai via I New Idea]

If German scientists have their way, your shirt may one day be able to pipe up with "I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over." That's because they've developed a new sensor that detects muscle excitation and thus detects stress. It's flexible enough to be woven into clothing and survive washing. Why would you want to do that? For sports training, coaches may be able to tell if athletes are tired out or still have some reserves left, or you may slide on a special vest that lets you control your games console. Makes a Wiimote seem kinda wimpy doesn't it? [Talk2MyShirt]
