Antiquity
Antiquity introduces a new traditional dress that can be changed in size and can be passed on from generation to generation. This digital collection is a reaction to chaotic modern-day life and takes inspiration from a future scenario where people will live in small, self-sufficient communities again. Traditional dress often develops in these communities, because there is less influence from the rest of the world.
The garments are made from rectangular patterns in Clo3D, creating shape by pleating or cutting the fabric. You can add or remove pleats to change the size of the garments. This way, you can still use the same garments when your body changes, or when you want to give them to someone else. By making more cuts or connecting them again, you can change the appearance of the outfit.
The outfit I have created has been executed in three different sizes and designs to demonstrate the ways you are able to change the patterns.
The medium size has been created in two different colours. The community in this digital future doesn’t dye their fabrics as this costs them a lot of valuable energy. This means that the physical garments will be in their natural white and the prints will only be visible in the digital space.
The prints are inspired by a world where communities work together in a digital space to create and design using different digital techniques. During the process of designing the prints, I collaborated online with friends, family and other designers before developing them into the final prints.
