imagine a fabric that grows...a garment that forms itself without a single stitch!

The fashion that starts with a bottle of wine...

Micro'be' fermented fashion investigates the practical and cultural biosynthesis of clothing - to explore the possible forms and cultural implications of futuristic dress-making and textile technologies.

Instead of lifeless weaving machines producing the textile, living microbes will ferment a garment.

A fermented garment will not only rupture the meaning of traditional interactions with body and clothing; but also raise questions around the contentious nature of the living materials themselves.

This project redefines the production of woven materials.

By combining art and science knowledge and with a little inventiveness, the ultimate goal will be to produce a bacterial fermented seamless garment that forms without a single stitch.

Spray-on clothing

cotton fibers in a bottle. That's just great! You can get it in all different colours. You can wash it after your worn it en wear it again. Unbelievable!

Designer Jiri Evenhuis, in collaboration with Janne Kyttanen of Freedom of Creation, was the first to toy with the idea of using 3D printers to create textiles. “Instead of producing textiles by the meter, then cutting and sewing them into final products, this concept has the ability to make needle and thread obsolete,” Evenhuis has said.

A decade later, designer-researchers like Freedom of Creation in Amsterdam and Philip Delamore at the London College of Fashion are cranking out seamless, flexible textile structures using software that converts three-dimensional body data into skin-conforming fabric structures. The potential for bespoke clothing, tailored to the specific individual, are as abundant as the patterns that can be created, from interlocking Mobius motifs to tightly woven meshes.

Jale by Heike Sperber 2010

It is a simple transformation that allows a frosty snowflake to blossom into a sunny flower. It only takes a minor rearrangement to convey the transition from a sharp cold structure to an organic life form. With the help of a servo motor fabric flaps are turned over to accomplish the change of season in the patchwork.

The pattern is reminiscent of Islamic mosaics and demonstrates the versatility of these designs. The quilting technique is known as English Paper Piecing and the title ‘Jale’ is Persian for morning dew or dewdrop.

This work by Heike Sperber was part of the exhibition Pretty Smart Textiles. prettysmarttextiles.com
