The American fashion designer behind both Jennie and Grimes’ looks is Asher Levine. He created the pink Candy Moto biker jacket and priced it at a whopping $69,000 USD. While the colorful shells on the jacket seem like they’re only decorations, they’re part of an unexpected feature.

The shells are actually light bulbs controlled by a mobile app, creating a variety of ten light animations. The jacket is so unique that no one except Jennie has ever worn it because it’s the “first wearable prototype” and was “initially a concept piece for the Museum of Modern Art.”

As for the inspiration behind the one-of-a-kind jacket, Asher Levine attended a Thierry Mugler Couturissime exhibit in Montreal, Canada where the sculptures inspired him to begin making Candy Moto.
