# Ambient Apparel Wendy Legro Creates Elegant LED Coat By TopDog | Published 2010-01-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendy-legro References: [fashioningtech](http://www.fashioningtech.com/profiles/blogs/lit-in-between-the-folds) & [greenmuze](http://www.greenmuze.com/green-your/fashion/2138-elegant-led-coat-design-.html) Everyone needs a little ambient clothing in their wardrobe, and that may be the reason why Netherlands-based designer Wendy Legro created this stunning and elegant LED coat. We have featured some of Wendy Legro's artistic designs before at Trend Hunter, but I think this one deserves some special attention. Wendy Legro embedded the illuminating LEDs in the folds of her coat which produces a subtle ambient light effect that emanates gracefully without being overbearing. **Implications** - A bright light, bold fashion statement, the LED coat from Legro is an alternative energy fashion statement for only the most daring, eco-conscious fashionistas. The LED lights illuminate the coat's folds when in use, making sure wearers don't go unnoticed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ambient Clothing:** Fashion designers can explore integrating ambient lighting into clothing to create elegant and eco-conscious fashion statements. - **LED Fashion:** Fashion brands can create unique and innovative clothing pieces by incorporating LED technology. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Sustainability-focused fashion brands can incorporate LED lighting technology into their designs to create new eco-friendly products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion industry professionals can incorporate LED technology into their designs to create innovative and sustainable clothing pieces. - **Technology:** Tech companies can develop new LED lighting solutions for the fashion industry. - **Sustainability:** Sustainability-focused brands can explore integrating LED lighting technology to create more eco-friendly products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Colourful Ambient Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambient-lamp-design.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Mood-Setting Adventurous Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guidelight.md) - [Creative Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light.md) - [Phosphorescent Color-Changing Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollbak-firefly-jacket.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md) - [Infrared Light-Converted Warm Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/downless-down-jacket.md) - [Connected Curated Wardrobe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lookandme-closet.md)
