Overview
Body Wearing Movement is an interdisciplinary applied research project integrating research and design techniques derived from interaction, data visualization, scenography, psychology, dance, and fashion.
Process & Users
The project was developed through iterative interviews, rapid prototyping and user testing sessions with dancers, choreographers, pilates instructors, and physiotherapists.
Rails concept evolution
Design & User testing
The final collection includes 3 garments, was visualised in a video, when Cyborgs Dance, photographed in a live jam session without any additional external choreography.
The design of the video was inspired by Oscar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet. It explores how abstract movements (round, short, repetitive and long) - could be embedded into dress.
