LED clothing; fashion do or fashion don’t?

by Mark Rollins on Jul 8, 2008 at 12:03 AM

LED Clothes

Believe it or not, LED technology is trying to get in our clothes.  Okay, all dirty images aside, I am seriously telling the truth.  LEDs are being integrated into clothing for a look like no other. 

This is part of designer Mary Huang’s very unique lighted fashion line, otherwise known as Rhyme and Reason. 

As you can see from the dress the model is wearing in the photo, she is positively glowing.  The designer didn’t go for the look of bulbs, but a soft glow of an LED beneath the fabric. 

In case you are wondering, the power of the LEDs comes from either batteries or from a cord plugged into the wall.  I think if you want to spend a night on the town, I highly recommend the batteries.  The last thing you want is to turn heads at a dimly lit party, only to trip on a cord later. 

Best of all, the clothes can double as lights.  Just hang them off a hook, and you have a standing lamp! 

So far, it appears these clothes are only for women.  I’m not certain what kind of LED clothes could be designed for men.  Maybe some muffled light underneath a tuxedo jacket.

    Just thinking about the possibilities of LEDs in womens clothing. The combination of light and shadow could greatly enhance just about any figure.

    Not to mention how cool a night club would be. Making out could be a bit distracting though.
