TWITTER JACKET
AUT BUSINESS AWARDS
2017
Made for Sarah Trotman for the AUT Excellence in Business Support Awards, 2017
IN COLLABORATION WITH YVETTE HOPKINS
CONCEPT
After an extremely successful awards last year with the Twitter Frock, the garment is back but this year in the form of a jacket. This year we wanted to create a Twitter garment that was more versatile so Sarah could wear to other events such as The YWCA Equal Pay Awards.
Incorporating NeoPixel LEDs throughout the jacket using innovative textile-based circuitry and Arduino computing, the jacket comes to life whenever the hashtag “#AUTBizAwards” is mentioned on Twitter.
