TIMOTHEE GLEIZE OUALI

Traditionally trained in draping and pattern making, I pursued a more sustainable way of designing through digital. It lets me cut down waste, as I mostly did the design, prototyping, and print placement solely on computer. My point was to show the translation between digital and craft in a high-end/luxury case – how it is more conscious, but also more efficient than the current design practice in the fashion industry. Besides using those tools, my work is about an exploration around identity and nostalgia in the digital age. It allies new ways of designing and presenting (VR), while respecting the product and the craft, which needs to be preserved and celebrated.
