A Capsule Collection embracing the need of comfort with the necessity of embedding smart features for bodies that change.
THE CHALLENGE
In the digital world, we are surrounded by constantly increasing electromagnetic fields that can affect bodies in fast-changing mode like pregnant women.
THE SOLUTION
The partnership will implement a durable collection using innovative materials able to screen the wearer from electromagnetic frequencies. The research will also release parametric design patterns to allow well-fitting clothing and customised items produced locally and on-demand.
The clothes could be designed to accommodate a wearer’s body, which will change over the course of a few months and could be combined in different contexts and express the benefit of their protective features.
