A Webbed Affair

Abstract

This ensemble was an exploration of how new technologies can be integrated with traditional design techniques to create unique, intricate fashion pieces. A given theme of “60’s Fashion” served as the basis for the overall silhouette, while a secondary theme of “Fungi and Mushrooms” was self-chosen as the inspiration for the textile design. Designers such as Iris Van Herpen and Noa Raviv have utilized 3D printing technology to create futuristic garments with geometric shapes, although their designs primarily are worn on their own as avant-garde clothing pieces (Logan, 2015). Meanwhile, 3D printing has been commonly used to create accessories such as jewelry and shoes, due to the inflexible materials available for extrusion (Flynt, 2019). Drawing from these two ideas, the goal was to design an outfit with the soft material and hard material garments complementing each other and being equally important in the overall look and style.
