I’ve been seeing more and more mention of illuminated fabrics. Wired has an article today on the stuff, but I’ve previously seen this on other sites. So rather than direct you anywhere specifically, I’ll just suggest you visit the loop.pH website (Link) where I found the above image. There’s all kinds, but this “history” exploration is what I enjoy most (and I’m fairly certain I read about this quite a while ago).
