The Glow in the Dark Dress

The highlight of the Met Gala 2016 event was probably the glow in the dark dress. In bright daylight, the dress looks simple yet elegant with a princess vibe to it but what made this dress stand out from all the other beautiful dresses on that day was when all the lights are out!

The man who created The Dress:

The man who created the glow in the dark dress is Zac Posen. He is a fashion designer who graduated from London's Central Saint Martins University. He was awarded with Swarovski's The Perry Ellis Award for Women's wear by the CFDA in 2004. In 2015, Women's Wear Daily and Variety Magazine awarded him with Designer of the Year. Zac's creation has been worn by many, from celebrities to the First Lady Michelle Obama.

Zac Posen created the glow in the dark dress together with his team of six people and it took them 600 hours to complete the masterpiece. The dress is made out of custom fiber optic woven organza with 30 mini battery packs sewn into a thin organza lining. The dress definitely caught a lot of people's attention and had turned every girl's princess dress fantasies into reality. Zac Posen had definitely spent a lot of his time thinking and working on this dress, from choosing the right fabric that goes well with the lights to arranging the batteries under the fabric. This is definitely not the kind of dress that you would see everyday at an event, hence it is very spectacular to have Zac Posen create something so extraordinary.
