A new frock can glow in the dark. The garment is the brainchild of San Francisco-based designer Natalie Walsh.
Clothes make the man or woman in this case as seen in a new innovative dress that glows in the dark.
The garment is the brainchild of San Francisco-based designer Natalie Walsh. The dress is pretty basic, aside from the glow factor, being that its white with a simple puffy skirt. Pouches are integrated into the design for the lights.
Fiber optic filaments encompass the body of the frock to create the glowing shape. The ends of the optic cables are left dangling freely on the lower portion of the dress, mimicking a longer, flowing shape.
As the wearer walks, dances or moves in any direction the garment changes colors and swirls. When the surroundings are super dark, the glowing effect is drastically amplified. The wearer can barely be seen, but the dress’ outline easily stands out thanks to the woven and dangling lights.
Walsh remarked “The inspiration for this dress followed the first time I saw this fiberoptic product in action. I was at a festival when I saw a bloom of fiber optic jellyfish approach, and they created such a beautiful effect that I knew I had to turn the concept into something wearable.”
