Funding from Innovate UK allowed The Unseen to test out its science and design in the real world.
Materials alchemist Lauren Bowker, founder of The Unseen, said:
Innovate UK really helped to set up The Unseen. When I applied for the award, it was the first one I had seen for fashion technology.
Fashion technology is a growing area. In the future, clothes could clean themselves or even make us appear invisible.
