Instead of going for something extremely futuristic as seen in the past, the Lume Collection concentrates on embellishing the common graphic designs often found on the front of tees. In this case, however, the abstract accents border collars and sexy slits at the back of the clothing items. Designed by Elizabeth Bigger, the Lume Collection was recently showcased at the [International Symposium on Wearable Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delavie-sciences-1) in Zurich, Switzerland. Interestingly, the [built-in LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-esthetics1) can be controlled using a smartphone app and comes in a range of different colors as well as level of illumination. The Lume Collection is comprised of a dress, a tunic and a bomber jacket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wearable LED Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional fashion with clothing that incorporates LED lights. - **Smartphone-controlled Clothing:** Innovation opportunity to create wearable technology that's controlled by a smartphone app. - **Embellished Graphic Designs:** Creating unique and stylish patterns on clothing as a way of incorporating wearable technology. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional fashion with wearable technology and LED lighting. - **Smartphone App Development:** Developing smartphone apps for controlling wearable technology in clothing. - **Graphic Design:** Innovating unique and stylish designs for clothing that incorporates wearable technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Perforated LED Table Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume.md) - [Sleek Illuminating Runner Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumabelt.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Device Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board.md) - [Biodesign-Backed Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gozen-x-beymen.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Luminous Tile Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balera-collection.md) - [Bold Performance Fabric Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unified-field-fabric.md)
