mortals in crisis for the choice of dress for the New Year

Its inventors - the London designer of Cutecircuit - have called it "the biggest display in the world", but that is not why the Galaxy Dress is talking about itself: the fact is that this display can be worn.
In the blogosphere the tam tam of the fashion-addicts did not miss the novelty: it is not every day a dress composed of 24,000 tiny multicolored LEDs and 4,000 Swarovski crystals, so that far from being put on the market lace tulle wedding dress, it passed directly from the laboratory of "techno-tailoring" at the "Fast Forward: Inventing the Future" exhibition at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

Actually the Galaxy Dress is not the first example of clothing made with LED, but certainly unlike its predecessors, perhaps for more attention to the couture side, it makes a great scene and, despite not particularly comfortable to wear, would make the joy of more than a star in the mood for eccentricity, as well as not a few common mortals in crisis for the choice of dress for the New Year.

What is certain is that this technology has a perfect physique du rôle to lend itself to the scenarios presented by the futurologists: the ever-increasing miniaturization of the light sources will increasingly delight the artists, stylists and designers: the pioneer in this field is Ingo Maurer, with its LED Wallpaper.


But the real card in favor of LED diffusion in the not too distant future is the not inconsiderable eco-friendly side, being very low energy consumption technology. Just think of the Galaxy Dress, whose 24 tadashi mother of the bride dresses,000 LEDs consume as much as two traditional light bulbs.
