“Rhyme&reason” is an exploration in using light as a material to create transformative fashions. Unlike most LED clothing, which make the wearer look like a neon lamp, the designs from Rhyme & Reason are stunning pieces you could actually wear.
Designer Mary Huang says, “Integrating technology into a wearable piece can often be cumbersome, so in a successful piece, the design must outshine the technology.”
Her lighted fashion line, aptly called Rhyme & Reason, also includes an LED scarf. The scarf is made from machine-knit material and the dress is a combination of woven cotton jersey and hand-crocheted flowers. About two dozen bright white LEDs are embedded in each.
No word on pricing yet. It is mentioned that “when not in use, the pieces double in function as lamps, avoiding the fate of hanging neglected in a closet”.
Marie-Jacqueline, a French fashion designer, and LumiGram, have teamed up to create a very unique collection of high tech and decorative items, based on fiber optics fabric.
When powered on by an embedded electronic module, thefiberoptics fabric emits acoloredlight along the full length of thefiber, producing a stunning and classy luminous effect.
A small switch allows turning the fabric light on/off. Unlike other light sources like LEDs or Electroluminescence, the light coming from the Fiber Optics Fabric is subtle and mysterious, allowing the creation amazing, stylish and wonderfully original accessories and clothes.
Based on this new technology, LumiGram collection of cushions and tablecloths is probably the most dazzling you’ll ever see as you can see on their website : (LumiGram also offer a range of clothes based on the same technology).
Price range from : 299 to 899 euros ($450 to $1,400)
