Light Up The Dance Floor With This Dress!

Filed Under: Anglophilia Fashion Smashion Lady GaGa

Amazeballs!

Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz of interactive clothing company CuteCircuit have created a dress made out of 24,000 full color LED lights!

And it's actually wearable!

The frock, which has been dubbed the "Galaxy Dress" uses the smallest full-color LEDs possible and are flat as paper measuring 2mx2mm. The designers say "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."

However the bright creation does have a Cinderella effect. The tiny iPod batteries that power the dress only last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour. But even if the batteries go out the dress is decorated with 4000 hand-applied Swarovski crystals so it's always sparkling!

No one has actually worn the dress and is currently on display at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.

We see a future Lady GaGa collaboration!
