Selected Project Visuals

1998 –

As a research-led fashion designer, I was one of the very first designers to integrate interactive digital technology into fashion practice and storytelling. 

‘Digital Runway’ (1999), is distinguished as probably the world’s first digitally interactive catwalk presentation. Audiences could take to the runway and through physical interactions were able to activate and orchestrate almost never-repeating projected compositions, becoming spectator, participant and co-designer simultaneously.

‘Texturel’ (2017), is a conceptual design oracle, that responds to user interactions to generate over 39 billion possible fashion directives that can be used as a conceptual starting point for a design process.

Such digital projects questioned how audiences could expand design ideas through an active blend of innovation and event, or ‘innovention.’

My research continues to explore how new thinking can be applied to a conventional procedure of fashion design, and pursues the idea of ‘growing’ or ‘finding’ ideas for design through intervening and interactive systems. 

The following visuals represent selected examples from my archives, from 1998 onwards.
