About me
As Abraham Lincoln once said "The best way to predict the future is to create it." Fashion is way deeper than the visible surface layers of the mental idea society has about clothing, and there is an incredible urge to change the full structure, from the point I'm right now (the fashion schools). Because education goes hand by hand with evolution. As part of the future of what is coming, my goal during my years as a student is going to be the investigation of technology and its connection with the human beings to potentially increse their well-being. The earth is constantly screaming for us to make a change of behaviors, if we educate the upcoming generations with this values, the world will hear us and we will have switched a worldwide chip. Quoting Gandhi, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world". The fashion industry accounts for 8-10% of global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined, according to the UN Environment Programme. A global pandemic has made me consider a utopian world where applied science will help us to develop our full human potential, from garments that help those in need to high-tech at a luxury level. I want every single individual on the surface of the globe to be able to participate in my conception of fashion, that for the moment stays within the limits of my imagination and more eccentric ambitions. We will be connected to the piece of fabric that covers our body, not a second skin anymore but an extension of the one we have by nature. Garments would be designed for a certain individual and its certain needs, cause we are all a cosmos, and through augmented reality, digital clothing and big data we will re-design the tomorrow. "Utopia isn't just idealistic fantasy - It inspires people to change the world"
Projects
  • CHANEL project (Winner)
    CHANEL project (Winner)Maison Lemarié (GROUP CHANEL) presented us a project, I was selected as a winner and was offered an opportunity to work on their offices (PARIS, FRANCE). I spent 6 months this year working for them. A futuristic view of the Maison, in a mechanised future. If everything can be predicted by an algorithm, then maybe we can envision how nature creates itself and beat the rules of evolution recreating it at our own image.  The endless power of technology and its potential to be merged with fashion f
  • RICHARD QUIN Project
    RICHARD QUIN ProjectProject for RICHARD QUIN based on our dreams, and the power of mind-travelling on a time when we are craving for globe-trotting. My goal is to make visual what is intangible, imperceptible, abstract. To understand the mechanism of our inner world, specifically my own. During history, humans have seen dreams as mystical or as some window into our deeper selves. But they're constructed entirely from our memories, from the world we see when we are awake. During our REM sleep the brain creates drea
  • BALENCIAGA Project
    BALENCIAGA ProjectA futuristic vision of BALENCIAGA made using the 3D printing technology and implementing the Arduino Electronics platform to develop an intelligent garment that consists of a couple of sensors placed on the jacket that reacts to its environment, generating a sound when someone is too close. It was designed for blind people, a garment with a social purpose and a possible solution. This is: "a collection for everyone".

    Responsible Fashion Series  (Breaking The Mould) University of AntwerpMaking fish skin pattern-based garments: developing digital tools for the fashion industry based on Ainu Indigenous Peoples tradition. I developed a CLO3D Ainu Robe that I later on translated into BLENDER to model the rest of the scene and animate it.  Project that was presented during the Responsible Fashion Series - Breaking the Mould  conference at the University of Antwerp. “The Ainu garment in the image is part of a study that hypothesises what would have happened if, during the Meji era,
  • Design a dress for Grayson Perry (Winner)
    Design a dress for Grayson Perry (Winner)Grayson Perry is the UAL chancellor, and every year gives the opportunity to 2nd-year Fashion Print students (CSM) to design him a garment. For the digital print of the dress, I drew a 'SIMS' world where his favourite teddy bear from his childhood was the main character.
