After owning Alison Lewis’ book, Switch Craft, for a good while, I read the fine print in the back of the book and discovered that my Fire Skirt is mentioned as an inspiration for the book’s “Dancing Queen Skirt” project, the illuminated skirt featured on the cover.  I am very flattered and so stoked to be included in such a lovely and interesting book.

Alison Lewis’ website, I Heart Switch, has a bunch of tasty fashion electronics projects as well: for example, these Rodarte-style glow shoes reverse-engineer and replicate a recent fashion trend, inspiring DIY fashionistas to create their own couture.  (ironic pause here for the notion that Rodarte’s designers were likely inspired by Switch Craft, making the design circle complete…)

I look forward to seeing more of Alison Lewis’ electronic fashion designs, on the bookshelf and the runway.
