The invention of the Jacquard loom in eighteenth-century
France paved the way for computing and revolutionary change. From
its punch-card origins, code has evolved to define and enable new
methods in design, making, visualization, production and
communication, achieving the previously unimaginable.
Digital Visions for Fashion and Textiles: Made in Code
considers how computing has reinvented image, material and
structural processes, highlighting newly advancing 2D, 3D and
interactive output. Pioneering shifts of practice have developed
from hybrid technical and creative collaborations. Digital and
analogue fusions are defining new contexts for the innovative
fabrication of surfaces, products and environments.
Twenty-two of the most forward-thinking practitioners,
established and emerging, who have embraced developing digital
technologies are profiled. Featured are household names, such as
Hussein Chalayan, Prada and Issey Miyake, early pioneers Vibeke
Riisberg, Peter Struycken and more independent, avant-garde
individuals Iris van Herpen, Casey Reas, Tom Gallant.
Complete with a reference section and bibliographic
information, this unique and richly illustrated book is the perfect
resource and inspiration for designers, students, industry
professionals, and anyone looking for an exploration of how
computer technology has creatively permeated fashion, textiles and
related digital sectors.
