FIT Future of Fashion 2024

Gentle and Powerful

Look 1 utilizes the 3D-silicone heat transfer label-making technique to create a striking graphic on the upper body, resulting in a visually dynamic, three-dimensional effect that appears sculptural but remains completely bendable. The silver tribal totem design imbues a sense of futuristic hardcore style, while layers of drapery fabric on the dress introduce elements of softness, contrasting with the leather armor and hardware details for a portrayal of a powerful but gentle warrior goddess.

Look 2 maintains cohesion with Look 1 while exploring variations in structure and silhouette. The focal point is a 3D-printed armor chest piece with a metallic coating, crafted from PLA material for a hard texture. It offers a distinct craftsmanship and material properties compared to the soft TPU printing of Look 1.

Gentle and Powerful completes the image of a warrior goddess I've long imagined, merging gentle elegance with futuristic strength, intricate yet resolute, steel yet silk. The collection is predominantly done in silver tones. It features metallic fabrics and uses two 3D-printing techniques: PLA material to provide a solid texture and silicone label-printing to create a sculptural 3D graphic that remains flexible.
