The 'See-Thru-Me' top consists of 36 [individual circuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-circuit), each with a light resistor sewn separately into the shell lining. When a light source is shone on the back of the person wearing top, the [LEDs on the front light up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-esthetics1), creating the illusion that the light went right through the wearer’s body. Watch the video to get the full action effect of the 'See-Thru-Me' top. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Techno-fashion:** The trend of incorporating technology into fashion designs, leading to innovative garments like the 'See-Thru-Me' top. - **LED Clothing:** The trend of using LED lights in clothing to create unique visual effects like the 'See-Thru-Me' top. - **Smart Textiles:** The trend of developing textiles that contain electronic components capable of sensing and responding to environmental conditions. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the techno-fashion trend by incorporating technology into their designs, creating innovative garments like the 'See-Thru-Me' top. - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can explore new product development opportunities by creating specialized lighting products that can activate LED clothing like the 'See-Thru-Me' top. - **Textiles:** The textile industry can capitalize on the trend of smart textiles by integrating electronic components into their fabrics, leading to new products like the 'See-Thru-Me' top. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [AR Fashion Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternitee-ar-platform.md) - [Wearable Communication Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inxects-vest.md) - [Optical Illusion Invisibility Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisibility-shield.md) - [Invisibility-Illusion Portable Cloaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisibility-shield-co.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Device Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Thermal Stress-Monitoring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mij-technology.md) - [Electromagnetic Shielding Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohmni.md)
