"I have a deep passion for art and view creative self-expression as essential to my identity. Inclusivity is also a significant value for me, and these principles drive my motivation and priorities in my work whether costuming or apparel."
About Aetherwears
Our Story
Aetherwears started from humble beginnings of a hobbyist mindset before sharing my art as a self employed artist! Occasionally, I collaborate with artists to create beautiful pieces together. Since 2008, I have always obsessed with adding electronics to all of my costumes, looking for any reason to add my love of lights to everything I wear! Every costume deserved to glow and shine brightly. I am always looking for innovative ways to add electronics and lighting to every costume, and I encourage everyone to do the same should inspiration strike! Each and every piece presented a different lighting challenge, and I put my nose to the grind to figure out the most effective way to bring these concepts to life! Our drive to push for innovation and creativity have stuck with us all these years, motivating us to continue in our mission to bring inspiring and clever lighting rigs to any costume. We love a challenge and excel in finding a solid solution to most costume needs: From Micro-controllers and addressable lights to simple lighting rigs in hard to reach places like mascot heads and gloves. Each costume ordered presents a unique challenge we look forward to solving!
Toxius and I are passionate about size inclusivity in all of our apparel. We intend to offer more sizing in the future. Our current line of apparel ranges from Small to 5XL. We plan to offer XXS and 5-7XL in the near future. Our primary focus is on rave and fandom apparel.
With the new growth of our company and an increase in demand for glowing costumes, we look forward to shining our light and showcasing our new product lines to the community!
