In 2011, taking inspiration from a parametrically derived lamp that designer Brian Harms had created the year before, we collaborated with Brian in designing a dress based on similar concepts. We worked with the viewable angles, materiality, cell structuring, and overall form of the dress to formulate a response that was wearable, but exceeded normative constraints of clothing.

By having a thickness of which the wearer was constantly aware, creating modesty only through orientation of view angle, and by having a non-repeating internal structure, we were working to understand the dividing lines between architecture and fashion.

The next steps were to be the production of a paper prototype and potentially a mold, to produce multiples from plastic materials, but the project has not ever reached fabrication due to external demands on the collaborators’ time.
