That piece is an example of the use of LED technology and research, modestly embellishing this elegant evening gown. The small lights are provided with electricity via “embroidery” made of threads that can conduct electricity.The technology doubles as decoration and fades from the spotlight. This is Alfred Kriemler’s specialty, using an artistic spirit to perfect technological innovations.
