The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) commissioned nervous system to create a new dress for the exhibition #techstyle, which runs from march 6 through july 10, 2016. the show explores the synergy between fashion and technology and how it is not only changing the way designers create but also the way people interact with their clothing.the museum of fine arts, boston (MFA) commissioned nervous system to create a new dress for the exhibition #techstyle, which runs from march 6 through july 10, 2016. the show explores the synergy between fashion and technology and how it is not only changing the way designers create but also the way people interact with their clothing.
The new developed software is able to create a dress that takes into consideration body type, style and others referencing petals, feathers, and scales, nervous system developed a new textile language for their kinematics system, where the interconnected elements are articulated as imbricating shells. like their previous garments, this dress can be customized to the wearer’s body through a 3D scan, and additionally, each element is now individually customizable: varying in direction, length, and shape.
