For my final I wanted a garment that overpowered. So I made a really high collared bodice with a long skirt. I carved out a leaf out of a sponge and used textile paints to make the abstract print on the outfit. To show sex appeal I left the sides of skirt open and closed it to hip with a fagoting stitch.
Hand painted print achieved with acid free archival paper using Epson pigmented inks.
Cell Cycle By: Nervous System
Product Design Company founded in 2007 by Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg.
Cell Cycle is a line of 3D printed nylon and stainless steel jewelry.
"The pieces are 3D printing in nylon (polyamide) using a process called Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). The process “grows” the pieces in layers by laying down a thin coat of powdered material and fusing together the solid regions with a laser. The technology is quite interesting as it allows you directly translate a digital file into a physical object. SLS is an especially versatile method because there are almost no limitations on form, and you get a solid plastic part. The nylon material is strong and flexible, not brittle, so it can withstand regular use. 3D printing is still a quite expensive process and part of our design idea was to create a form that could be made and sold at an affordable price point. The cellular nature of our designs creates rigid forms that enclose a large amount of space but use only a small amount of material. By minimizing the material usage, we would able to minimize the manufacturing costs of these pieces and bring 3D printed products to the masses."
