Fashioning Movement
A pilot project exploring garment comfort through motion capture and 3D simulation.Project Info

Summary
Fashioning Movement is a pilot project developed with HEAD – Genève to explore new methods for evaluating garment comfort and fit while the body is in motion.
Traditional garment fitting is largely assessed on a static body. The project investigates how motion capture, animated 3D bodies and garment simulation can provide objective data on how clothing deforms, stretches and interacts with the body during movement.
The resulting measurements help visualize garment fit dynamically and establish a methodology for studying comfort beyond static evaluation.
The work serves as a preliminary study for the broader research project Fashioning Movement.
