enlighted® by Janet Hansen

Cecilie Bahnsen

We created a variety of custom lighted elements for use in Cecilie Bahnsen's Spring Summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week show, presented October 1, 2025.

To enhance the "Heartfelt" theme, many of the runway models wore pulsing LEDs centered on the chest, attached to fabrics inside the garments. The pulsing patterns use a blend of red, pink, and white emitted light, creating an illusion of light emanating from a central core. The animated image with a mannequin on this page shows an early proof of concept from our development work.

Enlighted was also commissioned to create a separate heart-shaped printed circuit board with LEDs, for use in invitations and promotional materials for the event. This board was produced as a transparent flexible PCB with pink LEDs, and we collaborated on the design and layout with Chloe Madison of vdbx.io.
