Iris van Herpen: 3D Printed Haute Couture
this technique is a great way to make 3D sculptures, but in fashion it's all new.
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
Illuminated Sculptural Costumes
Lianna Sheppard sculpts bold and beautiful sculptural forms anchored around the human body. In her recent project for her MA at Kingston University, she created origami-inspired costumes that fold, pleat and illuminate. The lighting projections add a poetic and ephemeral dimension to an otherwise minimal and severely architectural silhouette.

Portrait Projecting Ring
Portrait Projecting Ring
Working with local jeweller Tamrakar, this ring was created for the wedding of Luke Jerram and Shelina Nanji.
In a darkened room, light from a candle or LED passes through the ring to project a series of portraits. A selection of miniature slides were made of different family portraits and inserted into the edge of the ring for projection. As Jerram's family grows, photos of his children can be added to the ring. The ring was inspired by 19th Century Standhopes.

Emotion-Sensing Dress Emits Mood-Enhancing Aromas, Pheromones
by Jasmin Malik Chua, 02/10/10
Too shy to show your object of affection how much you care? Let your dress do the talking—or sniffing, as it were. Jennifer Tillotson’s Smart Second Skin Dress interacts with its wearer’s changing moods by releasing atomized bursts of fragrance—or more precisely, a “rainbow symphony of aromas”—in response to different emotional triggers. This personal “scent bubble,” which purports to regulate your emotional and physiological state, is designed to promote relaxation, alleviate depression, boost self-esteem, or simply telegraph your amorous intensions.
SMELL YA LATER
By creating a specialized olfactory experience, according to Tillotson, the Smart Second Skin Dress unlocks fashion’s so-called sixth dimension. “Multisensory enhancement makes the senses more effective to enjoy the experience of sensing reality,” she says. “It increases creativity, expressions and visions, sparks little reminders, expands colour, texture, sounds and taste, pushing the boundaries of the senses that we didn’t know we had.”
The Smart Second Skin Dress unlocks fashion’s sixth dimension, says Tillotson.
The dress itself comprises a fabric membrane (in effect a second skin) that acts as an invisible carrier of liquids, much like the body’s circulatory system. But the technology could have more than aromatherapeutic implications, Tillotson notes. Wearable dispensers could be create “responsive” clothing, jewelry, and footwear that pump insect repellent, deodorant, and even bronchodilators on demand.
