BIOMIMICRY CAPSULE

A mini collection focused on combining 3D-printing and conventional materials to create a vision of the future. Nature has always been a great source of inspiration for me. My thesis “biomimicry” is derived from a design philosophy that informs how things are made, so that their form and material composition may be in harmony with the ecosystems they inhabit. This look embodies the practice of biomimicry, looking to the environment for inspiration of shape, color, silhouette, fabrication, and movement.  
 

The 3D-printed garments are made up of ABS filament on power mesh, over 150 individually printed pieces organically draped and handsewn to the organza shell. The petal like organic lines were 3D modeled in Rhino, experimenting with width, height, and various shapes. Mimicking nature, each piece is slightly different and unique - just how no two leaves on a tree are identical, no two pieces on these garments are identical.
