Japanese designer Kiyoyuki Amano has combined fashion and technology to create futuristic short skirts that illuminate1 the wearer's thighs2. Aptly named 'Hikaru Skirt', which means ‘Shining Skirt', the garment comes equipped with LED lights and the miniature gyro sensors3 on the inside. So the skirt lights up, and the color and pattern of the light changes every time the wearer moves.
日本设计师Kiyoyuki Amano将时尚与科技结合起来,创造了一种未来式的短裙,能照亮穿着者的大腿。这款裙子名为“Hikaru Skirt”,意思是“闪亮的裙子”。它配有LED灯和装置在内部的微型陀螺传感器。所以裙子可以发光,穿着者每一次移动,灯光的颜色和模式都会发生变化。
Amano said that he first placed light bulbs inside a skirt on a
whim4, and that's when he noticed that it created a pleasant illumination of the thighs. So he worked on the design some more and soon created a whole line of LED-
illuminated5 minis. The Hikaru skirts, he said, are meant to bridge the gap between everyday fashion and cosplay.
On January 16, Amano launched a Tumblr page
dedicated6 to his unique creation. He hasn't revealed a launch date or a price range yet, but it's only a matter of time before the skirts become a regular feature on the streets of Tokyo.
If you'd actually wear one of these upskirt illuminated Hikaru skirts, maybe you should consider an LED smile to go with it.
