Electronic Membrane, formal wear through the digital leans

Specialisms:

Menswear Digital Design

"Electronic Membrane" is a menswear collection featuring 8 digitally-rendered and 4 physical gray summer suits. Drawing inspiration from the 1930s and 1980s oversized aesthetic, it challenges traditional suit norms. The 1930s style guide, highlighting the versatility of gray suits, influences the designs. Blending traditional tailoring with digital tools, the collection showcases the integration of AI-generated "mistakes" into the designs, symbolically breaking conventions and emphasizing individuality. "Electronic Membrane" represents a rebellion against dress codes, offering a bridge between physical and digital fashion realms. The name embodies the concept of crossing boundaries into the world of digital fashion.
