Swarovski's LED couture

If you're like us, you're probably sitting there thinking, "Why don't I have more seizures?" Well luckily crystal-maker Swarovski and designer Hussein Chalayan have got you covered -- literally. This dress was shown for the company's 2007-2008 collection, and while we've seen this kind of thing before, this garment functions a little differently. Beneath the translucent crystal "material" is a grid of LED chips, which display patterns and can apparently run short video clips. For you fashion plates eager to pick one up, the cost will clock in around $16,000. How you sit down and the amount of D batteries required is currently unknown.

I want a T-shirt like this so that I don't have to get me a new one each time I find new witty pics on the net.

I move to ban all articles containing the word "Swarovski"

Don't say that, Brother! Let the healing power of the crystals help you! Peeeaaceee!

After seeing the price all that thing does is tell people that they need to mug you but it does it with color
