Il nuovo libro di Sabine Seymour "Functional Aesthetics: Visions In Fashionable Technology" dà subito una visione chiara di come i tessuti possano essere interfacciati. Nel secondo libro di Seymour su questo argomento, ella stessa definisce ciò che è di moda come " capi disegnati, accessori o gioielli che coniugano estetica e stile con la tecnologia funzionale" .Ci sono molti esempi di come i LED siano già stati e vengano tuttora utilizzati per questi propositi.
