Abstract:
Portfolio project to develop new fashion products which integrate the craft skills of fashion making with new technologies.
The project responds to the rapidly changing context of fashion and positions the user at the centre of the design process. It aims to produce personalised fashion products using new applications of 3D body scanning and rapid prototyping methods to produce customised body related forms integrated with different direct manufacturing and production processes: the direct 3D production of seamfree knitwear, the manufacture of bespoke bags, and creation of body conformable seamless textile structures.
