Concept | SESONGA¶
5 Ws who, what, when, where, why¶
who¶
This project is developed by me as a Fabricademy student and fashion designer based in Kigali, for clients seeking bespoke ceremonial garments with personalized details, especially for weddings and formal events.
what¶
The project involves designing and producing custom 3D-printed accessories—buttons, ornaments, and decorative components—integrated directly into tailored dresses and groom suits.
when¶
The project is carried out during the Fabricademy program, following a process of research, material experimentation, digital design, prototyping, and final garment integration.
where¶
The work takes place in Kigali, Rwanda within the Fabricademy lab and my tailoring studio, combining local craftsmanship with digital fabrication technologie
Why¶
In Kigali, access to high-quality and custom-made fashion accessories is limited, often relying on imports. 3D-printed accessories offer a game-changing solution by enabling local, on-demand customization. By integrating these elements into tailored garments, the project elevates craftsmanship, merges tradition with technology, and strengthens my brand through innovative, digitally fabricated design
References projects, research papers, expos, performances etc¶
Previous participants form a large body of work. Get inspired by both the way they documented, did research and went in search for personal values, aesthetics and language. Everything made by anyone can be of reference, any project, research paper, exhibition or showcase, performance, system, service or product.
