Digital Dreams to the realities
In the heart of a bustling metropolis, where towering skyscrapers kissed the sky and neon lights danced across every surface, lived a visionary designer named Mia. Mia was not your average fashion designer; she had a dream to create something extraordinary, something that could bridge the gap between the old and the new, the natural and the digital.
It all began with a visit to the Science Museum. I stood in awe of the intricate machinery on display. The gears, the pistons, and the seamless integration of metal and innovation left me mesmerized. I saw in these machines not just the past but a glimpse of the future, a future where technology and creativity intertwined to create wonders. As I wandered through the exhibits, an idea began to take shape in my mind—a vision of digital fabrics that were dynamic, cool, and capable of evoking a powerful visual shock.
But I knew that my vision needed more. My quest for inspiration led me to the Nature Museum, where I stood before a dazzling display of crystal ores. These colorful, geometric treasures from the earth shimmered with an otherworldly beauty. The raw elegance of the crystals sparked an idea—what if I could infuse this natural beauty into my digital fabrics? What if the visual shock I sought could be heightened by the allure of nature's own masterpieces?
Determined to create something truly unique, my journey took me to the timeless halls of Westminster Church. The Gothic architecture, with its soaring arches and intricate carvings, spoke of a time when craftsmanship and artistry were held in the highest regard. The elegance of the church, the sense of history and tradition, resonated deeply with me. I envisioned my fabrics not only as modern marvels but as pieces that paid homage to the rich cultural heritage of the past.

Dynamic digital fabric
This digitally dynamic printed fabric transforms the original images of all the above patterned fabrics into 3D stereoscopic, kaleidoscopic, rotating and spatial effects, a complete process from static to dynamic fabric.
Behind scenes
The idea is to design a short sleeve that can be worn in windy weather, autumn and winter, and worn out to change colour.
The front and back pieces are considered to be cotton, however the short sleeves- T-shirt orginal Plan were the digitally printed on polyester with thermochromic dyes to try out the effect and see if they can change colour. Unfortunately, the inks were used up in the printing of the front and back sheets. I was like originally plan were designed a thermochromic temperature-change short sleeves T-shirt, and a digital printing of thermochromic dyes short sleeves to form a control group, because I found that the texture of heat sensitive dyes after printing, Its texture is very similarly to plastic, hard and sticky, so the use of recycled desensitised fabric, recycled polyester fabric, recycled linen to complete the unfinished future of the short-sleeved shirt .
It's just a prototype. I'll keep continuing to dig further into it.
