These designs explore how movement can be embodied in our urban garments through the use of programmable materials in response to the digital era. The aim is to analyze the relation between body and movement, through the connection with materials, and their adaptation and reaction to this. Materialization means to assume material form: the emphasis is on reality and perception. To materialize the movement is a path which has not only a conceptual and social goal, but also a functional one. The inspiration came doing a motion capture of our bodies in different sport activities.

I am a life enthusiast, a person full of energy and the strong belief everyone has some energy to be given to the world. I love to explore everything and every field, I am really curios and hungry of knowledge. I think you can " stand to life, survive to it" just absorbing what's happening, or you can "live life" giving everything you can. That's why I believe the objects around us and, moreover, what we wear, should be kind to our body, giving us the feeling we need and, at the same time, making us understandable; expressing ourselves. I put my energy in what I do everyday, hoping to help others through things I create; also just with gestures or words.

This design was created as my final project for Ma Fashion at Ravensbourne university. It stands not as an end of a university path, but as a beginning of a creative point of view, which aims to put new technologies together with fashion. Looking forward for new hybridisations due to cross fertilisation.
