Customising Digital Couture: Constrvct by Continuum Fashion

For quite a few seasons now we have been charmed by the power of digitally printed garments showcased by hip designers during glamorous fashion weeks. Yet, though eye-catching, some of these designs can be extremely expensive, they may not be available in all sizes and, in some cases, their vibrantly trendy colours and hyperreal images are destined to be fashionable for just a few months. But, if you like digital prints and want avoid these pitfalls, try Constrvct, a system deviced by Mary Huang and Jenna Fizel, the bright minds behind Continuum Fashion.

Fans of the technology and fashion connection may remember the Continuum duo from previous projects including the N12 - the first 3D-printed wearable bikini, made in solid nylon and assembled without any sewing - and the D.dress app that allows users to draw a dress, turn it into a 3D model and export a cutting pattern to make a real garment.

Constrvct is a brand new site that allows users to upload their own digital images, play around with them on different garments - including a sheath dress, a T-shirt, various skirts and summer dresses - and finally order that specific design in their own sizes. Once the order is sent, the Constrvct team creates a set of digital patterns and, using the highest quality process of inkjet textile printing, manufactures the custom fabric, and then cuts and sews it into the chosen garment and into the requested size (the entire process takes place in the USA).
