Welcome to the Re.Shape Lab

Re.Shape Lab logo-b-w transparent

The Re.Shape Lab pursues research-creation at the intersection of draping, 3D printing, and eco-responsible design, alongside the technologies developed by the hand. Founded and directed by Danielle Martin, the lab translates emotion into form, an inquiry articulated in her ÉÉP framework (Écoresponsabilité, Émotion, Pratique). Her Fashion Design for DIY (FDfDIY) approach extends this into participatory co-design, most recently with people living with dementia.

The lab brings a fashion design and creative sensibility to experimental garments, eco-responsible making, and human-centred garment design. Its projects have been supported by internal and external grants.
