Jun. 10 - A dress twinkling withhundreds of LED lights makes its first public appearance since it emerged on the Paris catwalks.

The white fabric dress first shown in Paris for Swarovski's 2007-8 Spring-Summer collection last April conceals thousands of LED chips and can even display short video clips.
