Do you ever wonder what the future of transportation will include? Will it be anything like the Volantis, the world’s first flying dress? Well it will if Lady Gaga has anything to do with it. She along with designer Benjamin Males and other creative minds at the London-based fashion and technology company Studio XO, have created this contraption for the songstress. One part fashion, one part futuristic transportation, the device is remote controlled and flies using 12 battery-powered propellers.
The creation was unveiled with Lady Gaga at a warehouse in Brooklyn, New York City, in November last year. Co-Founder of Studio XO, Benjamin Males stated “Volantis might seem very science fiction, but if you consider the developments in vehicle design, if you look at the trends toward space travel and jet pack design, actually the idea of having a personal aerial vehicle that has to have style doesn’t seem that crazy”. He went on to add that “Who knows, in ten years time we may all be flying round in Volantises”. Check out the gallery and video below and speak your mind on it after the jump!
