Concept

Throughout my training in Fabricademy, I have acquired knowledge and skills in the field of digital fabrication applied to textile design, which I have put into practice to develop this collection. Although I have had guidance from mentors and experts throughout the process, this project is entirely personal and reflects my creative and technical vision as a designer.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This project consists of a collection of three fashion pieces inspired by the morphology of beetles, with each piece using a different technique: a vest inspired by puffer garments, exploring the concept of soft robots; a dress with 3D-printed details, inspired by bustiers and thermoformed torsos; and a modular-assembly bag, inspired by woven-material bags. This collection is the culmination of my final project and seeks to reflect the knowledge acquired during my experience in Fabricademy, merging creativity with technical innovation.

FIRST PLANNING

The project will take place over the first two months of the year (January and February), with the intention of adhering to the timeline set for the global reviews by Fabricademy mentors. My goal is to complete the collection within this timeframe, ensuring that every creative and technical decision aligns with the program's standards and the expectations for the final review.

MOOD BOARD

The reason I decided to work on a collection is to apply my favorite digital fabrication techniques learned during the course, imprinting my style and creativity into several pieces. Through this collection, I aim to create a cohesive narrative that, while sharing the same inspiration, diversifies in terms of construction.

I based it on the seven universal styles by Alyce Parsons and Diana Parente, focusing on the creative profile that always seeks unique pieces that represent their personal style. My intention is to demonstrate that runway pieces can be functional and comfortable for everyday wear without losing the innovative and avant-garde essence that characterizes runway fashion.
