A NOTE FROM ELENA :
 Tailors for centuries have been solving the problem of constructing complex curved geometry with simple flat material; fashion has become a tool for introducing new methodologies for developable surfaces. On the other hand, the ultimate goal for applying digital techniques from architecture to fashion is to introduce customization during the design phase of mass-produced clothing. Even though computers have opened the way for custom designed items (through standard CNC production technologies), only a few companies have introduced identity driven lines. Commercial clothing is still generic. In the long run applying animation and custom scripting tools to the design phase would blur the distinction between couture and ready-to-wear lines.|
My research sees clothing as a source of traditional and innovative techniques to introduce creativity, effect and taste in the mass culture of building standards. My lecture will focus on the relationship between fashion and architecture in my work in the past 2 years.
