Juxtaposing Themed Balanced Fashion

4DIMENSION Blends Technology with Nature Through Clothing

— January 12, 2021 — Fashion
4DIMENSION introduces its first collection of apparel designs as we welcome the new year and the designs draw inspiration from nature and technology. The Taiwanese brand researches how clothing can be a medium through different interactions with reality and physics.

This is prominent through practices such as Tai-Chi and the brand delivers that dual influence by infusing it into modern culture. The daily apparel is simplistic and focuses on function as well. In terms of the color palette, the pieces are earthy in hue while referencing militaristic colors as well. The pieces also use technical elements including the YKK zippers, the Duraflex buckles, the Dimension Polyant, and the 3MTM Thinsulate TM padding for practicality and function.
