Metamorphosis

The dress "Metamorphosis" was created as a continuation of the joint study work and the internal university competition "Change".

Metamorphosis, a form of change, is evident in this dress through the caterpillar's change of shape from a cocoon to a winged insect. In this way, the developers simultaneously draw attention to technological change in the textile and clothing industry, such as the laser cutter and ultrasonic welding, as digital and resource-efficient processing methods.
The digitally structured surfaces of the dress allow for constant adaptation to the wearer's movements and symbolically express change through textile multicolor effects and color play.
In this dress, metamorphosis as one form of change becomes obvious through the transformation of a caterpillar from a cocoon to a winged insect. Through this the designers draw attention to the laser cutter and ultra-sonic welding as digital and resource-efficient processing techniques at the same time. The digitally structured fabrics of the dress allow a constant adaptation to the movements of the wearer and symbolically express change through textile multi-colour effects and color plays.
