"THREE PEOPLE ARE PORTRAYED DIGITALLY BY SCANNING THEIR BODIES. THE OUTPUT OF THIS SCAN IS A 3D FILE, WHICH RESOLUTION IS DEFINED BY THE AMOUNT OF POLYGONS, SIMILIAR TO PIXELS IN A BITMAP GRAFIC. LINKED WITH THEIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMORIES A DIGITAL TWIN OF THE BODY IS THUS CREATED, WHICH EXPANDS AND PERSONIFIES THE GARMENT IN A FORMAL-POETIC WAY. THE 3D DATA IS TURNED INTO 2D SEWING PATTERNS BY THE USE OF THE UNFOLDING FUNCTION WHICH IS A COMMON TOOL IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PROCESS TO MAKE PAPER MODELS WITH, THE SINGLE FABRIC PIECES AND THE INNER INTERFACE WHICH DEFINES THE EDGES ARE CUT OUT BY THE HELP OF A LASERCUTTER.
MAKING A CLOTHES PATTERN IN THIS WAY CHANGES THE AESTETHICS OF THE GARMENT FUNDAMENTALLY , BECAUSE IN CONTRARY TO ORDINARY PATTERNCONSTRUCTION METHODS UNFOLDING DOES NOT MATTER ABOUT ORIENTATIONS LIKE CENTER FRONT OR THE SHAPE OF A ARMHOLE, WHICH FREES THE DESIGNERS IMAGINATION IN A WAY THAT FEELS FRESH AND LIBERATE. AS FABRIC WE USED SWEATSHIRT JERSEY AS A REFERENCE TO THE COMMON CLICHEE THAT BERLIN IS THE CITY WHICH FASHIONABLE OUTPUT LIES IN MAKING AND PAINTING ON T-SHIRTS."
