Project III Physical Draping and Hybrid Practice ▾

3D-printed mannequins translate the digital body prototypes into physical forms, creating a direct link between digital and physical fashion practice.

This project compares digital garment simulation with physical draping and construction. Moving between these two approaches reveals how digital and physical methods can inform one another in fashion design.

Project III

Physical Draping
and Hybrid
Practice

3D-printed mannequins translate the digital body prototypes into physical forms, creating a direct link between digital and physical fashion practice. Patterns developed through digital simulation can therefore be transferred into physical draping experiments.

This project compares digital garment simulation with physical draping and construction. While digital tools allow precise pattern manipulation and flexible material adjustments, physical practice enables direct interaction with fabric through techniques such as twisting, knotting, and layering. Moving between these two approaches reveals how digital and physical methods can inform one another in fashion design.
