Austin Garcia – Looking Outwards 09 – Section C

I decided to look at Claire Yoon’s Looking Outwards 03. As someone who knows very little about fashion, I was interested in looking into this article on how 3d printing and computer generated forms could become clothing. Personally, high fashion has seemed like a far off community that I had very few intersecting interests with. This project though, and this idea that a piece of clothing could be created by someone in CAD software or even by an algorithm and printed by a computer presents incredibly interesting possibilities for the future of clothing and fashion.

In regards to this particular piece, I find the forms to be neat. They have a geometric yet also organic sense to them, and a complexity that I imagine would be facilitated by the computer design process.
