Concept

Material Gradient investigates how gradual transitions between different materials can create new expressive possibilities in fashion. The project challenges binary thinking about material properties.

Process

Multiple prototype samples were created with varying densities and material blends, creating smooth transitions from rigid to elastic forms. Each sample was tested for durability and comfort.

Materials

  • Nylon 12
  • TPU
  • Merino Wool

Techniques

  • Hybrid Design
  • Graded SLS Printing
  • Hand-finishing
