CuteCircuit presented its latest Pink & Black Haute Couture collection at the exclusive Fashion Show sponsored by Magnum that took place in Istanbul.

Highlights

Celebrities including special guest Orlando Bloom, Magnum’s ambassador and star of the new television commercial, attended the event and enjoyed the world’s first Haute Couture interactive catwalk.

The stunning super-model Carla Moure appeared on the catwalk for the show finale, wearing the Pink & Black LED silk dress with a waist-defining crystal belt. This is the very same dress that earlier in the evening lit up the beautiful skyline of Istanbul in pink during the live television broadcast on CNN.

Wearable technology

The collection features skilful tailoring and advanced micro technology to a glamorous and sophisticated effect. Each dress is a unique piece embedded with LED technology that lights up in many different colours and magical animations, controlled directly with an iPhone App and via Twitter.

Francesca Rosella, CuteCircuit Chief Creative Director said: “it was amazing to present the Pink & Black Collection in Istanbul. We love this magical city and the collection was a perfect union of luxurious tailoring and innovation. The garments are all hand made in London, and each garment was created using the finest silks and Swarovski crystals mixed with our trademark CuteCircuit Magic Fabric. This collection was a tremendous achievement for our international team.”
