Way Outfitted

The Red Roadster, created by Japanese designers and modeled during an M.I.T. fashion show last fall, boasts a solar-powered cell-phone hat, a navigation chest plate, light-emitting knee pads and optional shoulder and pants flaps. (Why the boxing gloves? Just for the hell of it.) Full-service outre techno-duds for tomorrow's cutting-edge fashion victim.
