Fresh off the Black Eyed Peas Superbowl performance, Katy Perry is seen sporting an animated LED costume on American Idol. The costume was designed by Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz at CUTECIRCUIT with shoulder pads and a necklace by sculptor Yasemen Hussein (who makes fantastically wonderful things).
You may remember CUTECIRCUIT from their award winning “Hug Shirt.”
It’s nice to see wearables in the mainstream media, even if they are just blinky-s paired with annoying music. Thanks to my UB colleague Luke Noonan for the heads up! (pictures and video in the link).
