Darius Kuddo is the youthful designer behind the 'Lumen Tie,' a line of LED ties that allows consumers to control their clothing accessories through Bluetooth technology.
Though the illuminated ties might not be ideal for more traditional formal occasions when lit up, the products offer a fun way to customize outfits and attract the attention of everyone at a party. The LED ties work by connecting to Bluetooth in order to give consumers more variation in their looks, granting them the option to write messages using the lights, adjust brightness levels, create different geometric designs and change around the colors.
The LED ties are also able to be controlled through Apple and Android smartwatches and have a long-lasting battery that can be charged with a USB port. As its creator claims, "With Lumen Tie, no one can doubt that you're an awesome guy."
