Kender du den irriterende følelse af, at et smukt stykke tøj ikke sidder supergodt? Kun 12 procent af danske kvinder passer til dansk tøjs standardstørrelser, og derfor kasserer mange deres tøj, længe før det er brugt færdigt, til skade for miljø og klima. Her arbejder designeren med den klassiske plisseringsteknik, der tilføjer fleksibilitet til tekstilet, som således kan give en behagelig bevægelsesfrihed for flere forskellige kropstyper. Projektet undersøger potentialet i en delvis digitalisering af plisseringsprocessen med digitale tekstiler og 3D-kropsscaninger af kvinder.

Undoubtedly you are familiar with the annoying sensation of a lovely piece of clothing that doesn't really fit properly. Only 12 percent of Danish women fit the standard Danish clothes sizes, and consequently many women discard their clothes long before they are worn out –to the detriment of the environment and the climate. In her project, the designer applies the classic pleating technique. It adds flexibility to the textile and thus provides a comfortable freedom of movement for several different body types. The project investigates the potential of a partial digitization of the pleating process with digital textiles and 3D body scans of women.
