CuteCircuit first came under the media lime light when Perry appeared at the Met Ball three years ago in the company's Houtre Coutre designed LED dress. Since then, the celebrity has developed a taste for LED dresses and graced The Voice of Germany 2013 stage in Dec. 2013 in another white chiffon and organza dress by CuteCircuit. While flash LED attire might add flare and even be an asset on stage, the fashion industry has not warmed up to the design.

The New York Observer has sharply commented:” CuteCircuit’s mission of integrating shimmering LED lights into eveningwear is laudable, to be sure. The only problem? The designs they showed at the Hudson Hotel yesterday keep wearable tech firmly in the category of novelty.” 

Aside from the futuristic designs that will keep the dresses well away from the average women’s wardrobe, the clothing designs “weren’t so interesting,” added the report. The report noted the glaring LED lights did not do the dresses much justice as it just acted as “another loud design motif competing with sparkles, stain and other shimmery fabrics.” There is still a long road ahead before wearable technology can meet the high aesthetic standards of the fashion industry.
