Smart textiles & 3D printing enters fashion world

With the merging of science and fashion, a new era of smart textiles and wearable electronics has begun to rule the fashion world. Several fashion designers, including Jennifer Darmour, Linda Franco and Helen Storey, have created soft circuit integrated clothing that responds to the gesture and movement of the wearer.

Speaking to fibre2fashion, Francis Bitonti said, “We have used several techniques to develop the new fashion collection. We digitalized the patterns of Katie Gallagher created 3D models which allowed us to use algorithms to develop patterns that transform as they move across the body.”

“We used the dress patterns as an input that informs the propagation of the branching pattern. The result was a dynamic responsive pattern that responds to the shape and curvature of the garment where no two parts are ever exactly alike,” he informs.
