If you think wearables are just about counting steps, wait until you meet my guest today. Kate Greer is the Chief Evangelist at Oura Ring, a wellness computer disguised as a ring designed to help you sleep and perform better.
She’s a multidisciplinary designer breathing new life into fashion. Her headline-grabbing garments aren’t just beautiful, they also interact with the world around them. Stare at one of her dresses too long, and you'll find it staring back. We speak with Behnaz Farahi about the art project that made her famous and her thoughts on fashion tech.
