This leather jacket is covered with about 300 feet of electroluminescent (EL) wire, following the natural stitching lines with stripes of pink, red, purple, blue and aqua.

The animation was designed to create a "breathing" effect with the colors changing gradually.

This jacket appeared in the SIGGRAPH Cyberfashion Show in August 2004, as well as InStyle Magazine in November 2004.


Enlighted can also add EL wire to leather in simpler designs, as shown in this example with a single piece of red EL wire running up one sleeve, across the back, and down the other sleeve.
