Wrinkle-Free Shirt

Inventor: Corpo Nove

Hate ironing? A fashion house in Florence, Italy, has developed a wrinkle-free shirt that also makes a distinctive fashion statement. The sheer, silver-hued Oricalco is made of titanium-alloy fibers interwoven with nylon. Just toss the shirt (shown here wrinkled on one side) in your suitcase before a trip, then take it out and blow it with your hair dryer to dissolve the creases. (A second version rolls up its own sleeves on hot days to save you the trouble.)

Availability: Next April, for $4,000
