EL Wire Vest + Boots

Inspired by her time at The Cotery, Char started tinkering with wearable lights. At the time, she didn’t know that conductive thread existed, so she fashioned a TRON-esque vest and boots from EL wire for a party in April 2018. Not many pictures exist from that night (fortunately and unfortunately!) but the vest lasted for years and even survived a few trips to Burning Man before the EL wire burnt out.

Faux leather and cotton vest with blue and white EL wire sewn into the seams. Leather boots with blue EL tape sewn along the sides.
