Galaxy Dress

The Galaxy dress

This elegant evening gown is made of taffita silk, organza, over twenty four thousand LED's of all colors, converting it into the worlds largest usable color display garment with more than four thousand swarovski crystals.
LED's as thin as paper were used, which wee hand embroidered into the silk. four layers of organza were used over the silk to defuse the light and to create the feeling of a magical aura.
The circuits that connect all the lights work with several ipod batteries and were built on an extra thin flexiable surface, which enable people to move gracefully, as if it wee a normal fabric.

although i am not really aiming to make a fashion garment myself, the idea of this would be something great to explore in my prints and possibly include some kind of final design, LED's are a big exploration for me, i want to use them in lots of different ways so this would be a good experiment to under go, on a much smaller scale to begin with, obviously.
