Couture Garment
Limited edition
US Size 2 | EU 34/36
The Setae jacket by is inspired by microscopic butterfly wing patterns. Butterfly wings are made up of membranes which are covered by thousands of colorful scales and hairs, plate-like setae. Photographs of the Madagascan Sunset Butterfly wing setae are digitized into an algorithm which translates the color pixels into 3D bristle patterns which correspond to the form of the garment design. The digital designs are 3D printed in an innovative way, without any support material and directly on denim fabric. The relation between the colourful rigid setae and the flexible fabric create enigmatic visual effects when the garment is in motion.
This jacket is part of the Chro-morpho collection by Stratasys, which is part of the traveling exhibition 'Design for Different Futures' curated by Michelle Millar Fisher; and has been exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Walker Art Center.
