In late 2011, Enlighted was commissioned to create lighted clothing and accessories for Sparkle 90210, a holiday event series presented by the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau.

We installed twinkling white LEDs in several kinds of outerwear, including a black leather jacket, a white faux fur bolero, a few types of raincoats, a suit jacket, and a letterman's jacket with lighted sleeves. We also lit up a scarf, hat, and glove combination.

These outfits were worn by street performers mingling with the crowd, to add to the festive atmosphere.

To heighten excitement, street performers from the “Sparkle Street Theatre” will float around town spreading holiday cheer.  Wearing glowing costumes designed by Janet Hansen of Enlighted Designs, whose recent clients have included Katy Perry, Daft Punk and Britney Spears, these animated characters will engage the crowds and pass out sparkling adornments for all to wear.
