  Diana Eng introduces the concept of illuminated fashion

It’s week eight and our Click@MoMA class is preparing for our huge wearable technology fashion show, presented as part of the upcoming In the Making teen art show. On the runway we’ll have inflatable superhero costumes, LED embroidered jackets and tops, and even computer-programmed electroluminescent garments. During the semester we introduced the students to bits from the tech world (hacking electronics, experimental materials) and bits from the fashion world (sewing skills, the garment district). But we spent most of our time together creating wearable experiments that combine technology with design elements from outside the world of fashion. These experiments have all been inspiration for the final garments that will be displayed in the fashion show on April 27.
