Project DNA
A collection of 3D fashion accessories that re-evaluate garment construction and fashion sizing.
To the naked eye, garment-making doesn’t seem to have made any significant technological advances but behind the scenes tells a different story as we've picked up on with recent digital fashion stories such as No(Where) (Now)Here and Nike Making demonstrate.
Project DNA is Catherine Wales’(sustainable) solution to the Gordian knot that is clothes sizing and a call for the fashion industry to embrace new technologies and start thinking ahead. Inspired by the aesthetics of human chromosomes, Project DNA harnesses some pretty impressive technology, software and Wales’ expert pattern-cutting skills to produce the 3D-printed, made-to-measure white nylon pieces. The results are striking - and made even more so by this collaboration of traditional and future craft. Three of the pieces are now on display at MoBA's Fetishism in Fashion exhibition in Arnem.
Only this week did we write about Cortex, and now here’s another exciting example of 3D printing and scanning techniques being deployed to modulate body parts and customise products.
