Hii! This June and July, I had such a great opportunity to be chosen as one of 100 participants in the Design Academy SIZE, co-hosted by Zalando
@insidezalando and VORN – The Berlin Fashion Hub
@vornfashionhubThe eight-week online course was devoted to inclusive thinking about sizing and grading systems in fashion design, supported by digital 3D simulation in
@itsclo3dHere is my concept I developed and prepared for production.
„Jeder einmal in Berlin“ is a dress inspired by the social and cultural transformations of 1920s Berlin. The project explores how pattern construction can support freedom, adaptability and diverse contemporary bodies.
Rather than recreating historical fashion and the glitter of the twenties, it translates the ideas of the period into a contemporary shirt dress designed for movement, versatility and everyday wear across many different social roles. It draws inspiration from concepts such as New Objectivity, the New Woman and „Jeder einmal in Berlin“ – a tourist campaign from that period – which here serves as a metaphor for the idea that everyone should feel free in their clothes.
The dress is designed for those who prefer adaptability to multiple daily roles, for garments that accommodate body changes throughout the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause and other life stages, or for anyone who likes the idea of a shared wardrobe with a partner, husband, wife or flatmate…
We have also cool possibility to work with
@the_fab_ric_ant AI application during preparing our concepts. Actually, I do not use any AI for concept settings, designing, pattern making and fabric reserches, because these are the spaces why I love to create clothes. And I also still prefer to take pictures with real people.
However, it's quite mad how AI can solve some really mechanical parts of the proccess like organising the size charts, create apropriate technical drawings, tech packs or create some first visualisation.
Huge thanks again for @insidezalando and @vornfashionhub for so intesive course full of new skills and experience for me. It was such a great luck and honour to attend. ❤️
