Ready-to-Wear Line Featured on CBC News

By Chelsea Klukas, Founder — Lumen Couture

We were covered by CBC news along with MakeFashion and StitchKit

The Lumen Couture Ready-to-Wear collection was recently featured in CBC news.

MakeFashion Co-Founder Maria Elena Hoover discussed the washable nature of our garments, and how the design hides a battery pack within the dress. Model Shelby Chong wore a dress from our sequin line, with our dark power collection on a mannequin (both available for purchase below).

The segment also featured our partner team's Stitchkit, which makes it easy for anyone to create their own wearable technology creations.
