Spring/ Summer 2016
Imagining if our own skins and surroundings could grow new materials, merging textures and mutating natural surfaces together. Blurring the boundaries between fashion and the body as technology like 3D printing pushes for new re – invented structures, creating a new form of body armour. Offering an element of protection against our human senses and digital identity. Smart labels and electronics become combined and embedded into our skins and clothing re-designing new fashion materials, creating an extension of our own skins, where fashion materials emulate skin textures within our surroundings.
