Le très bon photographe Ben Sandler a réalisé la série « Movements » pour le numéro d’automne 2013 de Blast Magazine. L’artiste décortique les mouvements du corps à travers une longue exposition et une retouche audacieuse. Une manière originale de mettre en valeur des tenues.
Fashion designer Maiko Takeda has added glow-in-the-dark designs to her range of spiky masks and body adornments for an exhibition of her work in Paris (+ movie).
Maiko Takeda has extended her Atmospheric Reentry millinery and jewellery collection to include a neckpiece that glows under black light.
The latest design, which wraps around the head and over the shoulders, is presented in a movie by digital art publication POSTmatter.
“When I met Remi Paringaux and his team from POSTmatter last summer to discuss ideas on our collaboration film project, I remembered images of glowing lights in space, such as aerial photographs of northern lights, burning comets and so on in my references,” Takeda told Dezeen.
“I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to return to this inspiration and see what I can do with it.”
Takeda applied fluorescent pigments to the translucent plastic spikes one by one, combining sprayed gradients of colour with more intense flecks of paint.
The film flicks between light and dark to show the transformation of the piece under UV light. It also shows the delicate translucent bristles ripple in a breeze.
“The way the spikes waved was also beautiful,” Takeda said. “It almost looked like fluorescent jellyfish in water.”
After the film was made, she decided to create another smaller piece that would illuminate in the dark to accompany the first glowing design.
“I used light-emitting pigments instead, so during the day you can only see translucent spikes but when dark it emits lights and glows by itself,” she explained.
Takeda first designed her Atmospheric Reentry collection while studying at London’s Royal College of Art and presented pieces at the institution’s annual fashion show last year.
Icelandic singer Björk has also performed wearing one of Takeda’s headdresses, after seeing the designs on Dezeen.
She now hopes to create pieces that are more wearable day-to-day. “My interest now is to expand the collection including a series of more wearable fashion items,” said Takeda.
“This is not to say I want to make something compromised, but it would be exciting to challenge how far the idea can be developed and cross over the fields of couture and product design.”
The exhibition of her work at the Joyce Gallery in Paris continues until 22 March. Photography is by Ayako Kichikawa.

L’artiste Alana Dee Haynes s’amuse à reprendre des photos de mode ou de portraits, essentiellement en noir et blanc, pour dessiner des motifs sur les peaux des mannequins, leurs vêtements ou dans le décor. Une sélection de ses créations est à découvrir dans la suite.
These shoes are 3D-printed using flexible, durable filament so they can be folded up and stuffed into a pocket or bag (+ slideshow).
Designed by Ignacio Garcia of Spanish 3D-printing firm Recreus, the Sneakerbot II shoes are printed with the company’s Filaflex 1.75-millimetre filament, which comes in a range of metallic colours and matte hues.
This elastic filament forms a rubbery, waterproof material that is bendy and retains its shape after being scrunched up.
The shoes can be printed on a MakerBot using a custom extruder also designed by Garcia, which prevents the elastic filament becoming tangled during the process.
Sole and upper are printed in one piece, then the tongue is attached to the front of the shoe. Holes for threading the laces through are incorporated into the print file.
Chunky faceted forms around the bases of the high-top trainers create a Futurist appearance.
This design builds on the original Sneakerbot model, which has smoother surfaces that look more like running shoes.
The files for both designs are available to download for free from MakerBot’s Thingiverse website.
Others experimenting with 3D-printed footwear include fashion designer Iris van Herpen and sports brand Nike, which have both used the technology to create shoes. Also, 3D-printing company Cubify has launched a range of women’s shoes that can be printed overnight at home.

Industrial fabrics and hardware supplies were used to create these garments shown at Design Indaba 2014 by South African fashion graduate Renee Nicole Sander.
For her graduate collection titled Deficiency, Renee Nicole Sander chose to experiment with PVC and padding, using the icy forms and colours of glaciers as a reference.
“The concept for my third year collection was glacier formations,” Sander told Dezeen. “Looking at these formations from afar and close up, I was able to use these interesting shapes and textures and transfer them into my collection.”
She used wadding for padded quilts and blackout lining for curtains along with plastic canvas and other industrial materials to create the garments.
“Although these alternative materials made an impact, construction using them proved complicated,” Sander explained. “I felt it was important to look at materials outside of fabric stores and experiment with substances not often used in fashion.”
One piece comprises translucent PVC sheets linked with plastic ties down the sides, which look like shower curtain rungs, and large circular arm holes in the front.
This is worn over trousers and a shirt with elongated sleeves that extend past the knee, both in softer translucent fabrics.
Voluminous hooded coats engulf the bodies like giant sleeping bags. More commercial clothes include a loose halter-neck top and wide-legged trousers.
The collection was designed purely in white to show off the silhouettes and varied textures. “Apart from the purity of white; I feel this colour represents my collection well without seeming aggressive or overwhelming to the viewer,” said Sander.
Sander created the collection while studying at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town and showed the designs during the city’s Design Indaba event last month.

“Sporty Supaheroe” is a stylish cycling jacket for the urban warrior! This new kind of digital apparel proves that safety gear doesn’t have to look lame. Using stretchable circuit board technology, it offers improved visibility and security in the dark with bright LEDs.
The circuit board is made out of thermoplastic polyurethane, onto which meander-shaped copper conductors are applied. Therefore, the circuit board can easily be integrated into textiles by lamination.

As part of their year-long exploration and celebration of all things Belgian, the surrealist gang at Opening Ceremony is plastering the reality-bending works of fresh-from-his-MoMA-restrospective artist René Magritte on instantly collectible goods. First up in this partnership with the Magritte Foundation: Vans. The five sneaker styles, priced at $135 each (a bargain for a Magritte!), include kicked-up canvas versions of Magritte’s Ladder of Fire (1939), The Blow to the Heart (1952), and, for lovers of his bowler-hatted men of mystery, The King’s Museum (1966). The sneakers are available for pre-order through Monday, March 17.
