Light sensitive, shape shifting apparel from Alice Zixxheddu
Light sensors embedded in apparel to dynamically shift textures and shapes
Reflecting on the modern world, where technology and nature live in a growing place of hybridization, designer Alice Zixxheddu’s collection of ‘living clothes’ sculpts a modern and relevant silhouette.
Inspired by the study of nature’s geometry such as minerals and glaciers Zixxheddu has designed garments that are virtually created around the body using 3-D software, resulting in textures and volumes previously unexplored.
Based on the idea of ‘hybridity’ – hybrid clothes for a hybrid body – the architecturally designed clothes define a new aesthetic. In addition she has incorporated technology into the clothes such as light sensors that allow ‘memory’ textiles to pop up and collapse, changing silhouette in response to light.
