How can 3D printing fabrication methods become more poetic?

circular3dDress is an exploration of the tensions between experimental garments and responsible behaviour in the context of an accelerating ephemeral fashion. The gesture of a making/doing hand and the accumulated textile waste are considered to seek the reconciliation of eco-responsibility and the expression of emotion.

 

The circular3dDress has lace-like flounced white 
3D-printed doilies on the sides of the dress. 
The doilies were co-created & studied
by two researchers, a fashion
designer & an engineer, to
analyze the drapability
of the recyclable
3D-printed
pieces.

circular3dDress was exhibited at the gallery Produit Rien, in Montreal, at the Rubix exhibition, in Toronto and at Milan Design Week.
