Marchesa, IBM Watson design "cognitive dress" for Met Gala

The first Monday in May brings one of the marquee fashion events of the year -- the Met Gala. Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as a benefit for the museum's Costume Institute, this year's gala comes with an unexpected high-tech twist. The theme of the evening, and the accompanying museum exhibition, is "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology." In keeping with the theme is a rather unlikely collaboration -- IBM is joining forces with the fashion house Marchesa, known for its whimsical, romantic designs. For Monday's event, Marchesa designers and co-founders Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig teamed up with IBM's cognitive computing system Watson to design a "cognitive dress" that will be worn by a yet-to-be-named model.
