Katherine Becvar, Creative Director of Blue Moon Designs, is using Adafruit technology to bring bright jewelry and fashion to the cosplay world. Her pieces are a perfect blend of historical design and modern technology, and she infuses clothing and accessories with lovely and tasteful animated lighting.
Watch Katherine’s interview on YouTube to see her work in action.
Katherine’s passion for creating captivating clothing led her to pursue a degree in Fashion and Textile Design at UC Davis. However, Adafruit’s tutorial inspired a new direction for her craft.
Inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of events like Burning Man and the steampunk aesthetic of Neverwas Haul, Katherine began incorporating LED lights and other hardware into her designs. Her creations are unique and beautifully crafted. She brings her pop-up booth to markets and festivals across the Bay Area and has a loyal following of customers who love to accessorize with her light-up bustles, tiaras, and necklaces.
In addition to spectacle, Catherine’s work promotes body positivity and ensures everyone can embrace their own unique style. Adafruit has played a key role in Katherine’s journey, providing her with the tools and knowledge to push the boundaries of wearable technology.
Katherine’s designs really fill a void, showcasing the emerging fusion of fashion and technology within the Bay Area’s festival and cosplay culture.
