LED Dress Lights Up Your Wardrobe and the Night
Monday, November 16, 2009 13:20One look at this dress and I was blown away by its beauty and innovation. The Galaxy Dress is a one of a kind of creation put together by two designers. Comprised of 24,000 LED lights, 4,000 Swarovski crystals and quite a lot of iPod batteries, this dress is being called “the largest wearable display in the world.” While it’s a breathtaking creation in still images, video is the only medium that really does this light-up gown any justice.
Designers Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz, creators of a “fashionable technology company” called CuteCircuit, reached out to Wired.com to give some background story to the dress.
“We used the smallest full-color LEDs, flat like paper, and measuring only 2 by 2 mm,” say designers Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz in an e-mail. “The circuits are extra-thin, flexible and hand-embroidered on a layer of silk in a way that gives it stretch so the LED fabric can move like normal fabric with lightness and fluidity.”
