Solar/LED Necklace Makes a Statement
This necklace by Swedish design student Mae Yokoyama would certainly show your green cred’ on the runway, but it doesn’t look comfortable. All those sharp edges and corners probably make this more of a concept piece than practical. I hope it has batteries, otherwise you would have to stand in the sun to make it self illuminate.
From the design school website:
Mae Yokoyama brings technology into the world of haute couture and show how to profit from the sun and turn energy into beauty.
One piece that stands out in her production is a collar made of solar panels, accumulating energy during daytime. When the sun goes down a string of pearls is illuminated, turning the functional look of the solar panels into a subtle and fashionable necklace.
