STOLL M1 designed silk knit; ribs align with gradient yarn to create dynamic visual "glitch" effect

Knit on a STOLL machine with gradient line-dyed silk-blend yarn and transparent Lurex, this sculptural dress features a high collar in metallic acid-washed calfskin and a floating wire hoop structure at the hips. The piece explores the tension between softness and structure, lightness and gravity, in a retro-futurist silhouette.

CLO3D designed, DUBIED tested, STOLL made, wired hem creates anti-gravity.

This collection draws inspiration from the silhouette of the qipao and anti-gravity architecture design, reinterpreted through digital and traditional knitting techniques. By combining automated Stoll knitting, CLO3D digital patterning, and macramé, the project explores new structural and material possibilities in knitwear. Gradient yarns and shifting light effects are used to create a sense of glitching screen, challenging conventional perceptions of knitwear.
