I began to study fashion and became particularly interested in suits. In menswear, the word ‘dress’ refers to a suit style. It is a broadly defined word, but its meaning changes depending on gender.
I express my respect for the suit style by upcycling used suits and combining it with my own technique of 3D printing directly onto fabric, I try to design a dress style that can be worn by people with masculine bodies in my own way.
this is the theme of this year’s exhibition.

No matter how much the virtual has developed, we still seek to relate to real people. Thinking about how to connect the virtual and the real, I created a garment that is composed of parts placed on a 3D body and connected to each other directly output by a 3D printer on cloth. Even if the body size changes, the wearer can continue to wear the garment by replacing the parts. The 3D model used in the production process can be used virtually as an avatar. The motif of the design is the “the men of the ribbon”. It is a symbol of new economic activities. I believe that the will to assert will connect the virtual and real worlds and make one person a human being.
