Skip therapy, deep massage and long-distance phone chats–now all you need to relax is a sweater made of Relax. Woven of tiny flecks of carbon, Relax, according to its Italian manufacturer, repels electro-magnetic energy, shielding your body from electric shocks, bad vibes and nasty moods.
According to a report in the London Times, a model who wore an ordinary sweater dress one day and an anti-stress dress by Azzedine Alaia another cut her stress levels by 50 percent.

”Possibly it does help prevent electro-magnetic forces, but I don`t understand how that would decrease your level of stress,” says Dr. Shelly Betman, of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. ”There is no evidence stress comes from electro-magnetic waves.”
Still, at $425 to $1,275, a Relax outfit (which you can find at Blake, 2448 N. Lincoln Ave., or Ultimo, 114 E. Oak St.) might be worth a shot-it`s cheaper than a year of therapy, aerobics or phone bills.
