Hybrid Hand-Woven Fashion

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Between the Layers' 3D-Printed Collection Features PLA & TPU

— January 2, 2019 — Eco
'Between the Layers,' the 3D-printed collection by Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design graduate Ganit Goldstein, is an exploration in fashion, technology and sustainability, as the range's seven outfits and six pairs of shoes are constructed with a mix of traditionally crafted materials and printed PLA and TPU.

During Goldstein's time at the Tokyo University of the Arts for an exchange program, inspiration struck and the designer began working with everything from upcycling and shredding second-hand fabrics to creating new garments from a traditional Japanese textile technique called IKAT weaving.

With a Prusa i3 Mk3 3D printer, the hand-woven components of the designs were elevated with technology but also an eco-friendly component, as additive manufacturing significantly helps to reduce material waste.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Fashion - The 'Between the Layers' collection demonstrates the potential for 3D printing to create sustainable fashion by combining traditional craftsmanship with eco-friendly additive manufacturing.
2. Mixing Traditional and Digital Techniques - The use of hand-woven components alongside 3D-printed materials in the collection showcases the trend of combining traditional and digital techniques in fashion design.
3. Upcycling and Textile Innovation - The designer's incorporation of upcycling and the use of a traditional Japanese textile technique highlights the trend of innovative approaches to sustainable fashion production.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can explore the possibilities of incorporating 3D printing and traditional techniques to create sustainable and cutting-edge fashion collections.
2. Textile Manufacturing - The use of hand-woven components and 3D printing in the 'Between the Layers' collection presents opportunities for textile manufacturers to explore new materials and production methods.
3. Sustainable Technology - The combination of 3D printing, upcycling, and traditional textile techniques opens avenues for sustainable technology companies to develop innovative solutions for the fashion industry.
