illuminated threads
Wearable art that turns data into conversation and impact.
discover:
An apparel brand that transforms real-world data into wearable art. Through embroidered and printed infographic-inspired designs, our brand uses fashion as a tool for education, conversation, and advocacy around topics such as climate change, inclusion, and gun safety.
About:
Based in Boston, MA, we offer a distinct combination of data visualization, fashion, and advocacy. Our pieces are intentionally designed to function both as aesthetically compelling garments and as conversation starters that encourage curiosity, education, and community engagement.
Each design is rooted in publicly sourced data and paired with a QR code that links directly to the information behind the piece, allowing clothing to become an entry point for deeper learning and dialogue. We focus on making complex issues more approachable, visual, and accessible in everyday spaces.
giving back:
5% of every purchase is donated to nonprofit organizations connected to the issue represented in the design. Supported causes include climate action, disaster relief, gender equity, voting access, LGBTQ+ rights, and gun violence prevention.
We are committed to sustainability and social impact through made-to-order production, 100% recycled materials, carbon-neutral shipping, and custom upcycling services that give existing garments new life.
Even our embroidery thread is made from recycled post-consumer materials.
