About
Lilach Porges is an Israeli fashion designer with an academic background in architecture. She uses parametric design methods to create textiles and garments. Lilach wishes to combine fashion with technology and to research more sustainable production methods to create the fashion of the future. Her work centers around developing innovative methods for 3D printed garments with robotic arms, exploring architectonic shapes with the ambition to bring the worlds of science, engineering, and fashion together to empower women.
When you imagine what fashion school will be like, you do not imagine yourself opening up a computer and taking its pieces out. Cleaning the dust away. Examining the colors of the cables and the texture of the tin. As someone who never fixed a computer or built one myself, everything I found there was a surprise. Those pieces of electricity and the connections between them were my inspiration for this project. Different kinds of cables were used as materials to create a top and to close the skirt.
