Bright and reflective, this Reflective Tape is the same material as used on fire-fighters clothing, security personal clothing airport workers, police, highway agency clothing etc.
Countless numbers of microscopic glass beads allow it to reflect 1500 times more light than white fabric, and retain 50% of its reflectivity at an extreme angle of 40 degrees from the light source. The high quality of this material and its infinite usefulness is the reason why it used on so many products that require light reflective properties.

Hussein Chalayan

Hussein Chalayan premiered his new collection for spring 2008 in Paris during October. To part with the traditional live catwalk he chose to screen a film shot and produced by the iconic fashion photographer Nick Knight. Moritz Waldemeyer participated in this new collection with high tech wizardry, in the form of hundreds of servo motor driven lasers. These lasers are integrated in the garments, illuminating the Swarovski crystals and extending the dresses visually into space.
