Graphene was used to power the LED lights and as a sensor to record the wearer’s breathing, while more everyday materials like crin – a woven lightweight nylon fabric – were used to frame the dress.įrancesca Rosella, chief creative director for Cute Circuit, whose hi-tech creations have been modelled by Katy Perry and Nicole Scherzinger, said: “Graphene has never been used in the fashion industry before. Unveiled at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, the city where graphene was first isolated by two scientists who went on to win the Nobel prize for their discovery, the dress changes colour in sync with the wearer’s breathing, using tiny LED lights. On Wednesday, researchers teamed up with a wearable technology company to unveil the world’s first LBD containing graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel and conducts electricity better than anything else known to man.
