CuteCircuit

One month: France, Italy, France, Italy, UK, Spain and back to the UK ✈️🚀✨ Creating an interactive haute couture dress, eating ice cream and tiramisù, repeat. We also moved into a new studio with the most incredible view 🤩💖✨ A celebration of CuteCircuit’s 20th anniversary in wearable technology, continuing throughout 2026. Loved wearing this dress. Light, woven into couture. Our co-founders @francesca_cutecircuit and @_r_y_a_n design garments that move, respond, and come alive on the body. This piece combines high-density CuteCircuit Magic Fabric LED technology with couture construction, creating a living surface of light. And yes, no wires inside. Because it’s CuteCircuit 🙌✨ Created at CuteCircuit in London 💖 A special thanks to our wonderful premiere Violetta, and to our incredible seamstresses who worked late into the night to make this happen ❤️ Do we lack sleep? Hell yes 😱👀😅 Do we love working with amazing artists and musicians? Absolutely 💖✨ After 20 years, multiple awards, and a lot of firsts, our work still gets misattributed. Even to Balenciaga. So here we are. We keep creating ⚡️✨ #cutecircuit #wearabletechnology #hautecouture #luminous

✨ Seamless tech. Seamless style. ✨ For Fashion Week, CuteCircuit partnered with HONOR UK @ukhonor on a special collaboration inspired by the #HONORMagicV5, a phone that flexes, adapts, and redefines creativity. I designed a mini-collection that transforms throughout the day: a cutting-edge gym outfit, gold and reflective skirts that fold from ankle-length to mini, and the star piece, a glowing parka that reconfigures from a voluminous structured hoodie to a long coat thanks to hidden zippers. From morning workouts to office meetings and into a night out, the collection adapts seamlessly to my lifestyle, just like the Magic V5. The Magic V5 was part of my process. I used it to capture photos, edit images and sketch garment concepts with the stylus, and bring designs to life through digitally printed fabrics and high-tech construction. The prints, in black and gold hues, inspired by the phone design, feature AI-generated Lorenz Attractor graphics that symbolize the Butterfly Effect and the way the Magic V5 unfolds like wings. AI extended my creative process and helped me refine concepts faster, becoming a true collaborator that amplifies imagination. “At CuteCircuit we believe fashion should be as dynamic as the people wearing it. With the HONOR Magic V5, I explored how AI can inspire new fabrics, forms, and even sound, creating a collection that adapts as fluidly as life itself.” – Francesca Rosella, CuteCircuit “The HONOR Magic V5 is more than a smartphone. It is a canvas for creativity and self-expression. Our collaboration with CuteCircuit shows how technology can inspire entirely new forms of design.” – HONOR UK AI was used during the creative process, however the garments and film are all 100% real 🥰🙌✨💖 Film: @westboundfilms.co Hair and make up: @sarah_scottt Fashion: @cutecircuit Starring: @_r_y_a_n @francesca_cutecircuit @ukhonor ❤️✨ @timwalker_photo Director & Stills @hannington_walker Producer @rowanbiddiscombe Cinematographer @callumtunmore 1st AC @ollie_jarman Lighting @colourbyrogers Colourist @mauriciodorey Sound Designer Gold Rush music by Francesca Rosella using @producerai_ ❤️ #ad #HONORMagicV5 #fashionweek
