Systems & Society
WAKE
In our world where digital presence is ever so prevalent we are surrounded by recirculations and recreations of the same ideas every day. This made me think about how this affects the way we present ourselves and ultimately led me to the question of how do we identify in the age of imitation? WAKE is a system that aims to rethink the way we design with this in mind to better meet the needs of our customers. Using AI as the catalyst for creativity, I created a lineup entirely tailored to the characteristics of the individual while using the digital space to create a streamlined version of the couture process. The digital portal allows for full interaction with the garment pre-production creating meaningful connections between the garment and the wearer and eliminating the disconnect between what is trendy and what is truly us.
