THE PREPOSTEROUS BOLLOX OF THE SITUATION

A collection of stuff, things, nonsense, rants, raves, pretties, sillies, and gee-gaws from Rev. Hugo Nebula, Ordained Minister of the Church of the SubGenius. (And boobs. Sometimes there are boobs. Just like in real life.) Thank you for reading.

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).

 

“An H&M clothing store in Sweden is being hailed by women around the world after a photo of two surprisingly curvy mannequins there were photographed and posted online.

“Dressed in skimpy lingerie, the mannequins displayed softer stomachs, fuller thighs and generally more realistic proportions than the traditional department store models. For comparison, most mannequins in the U.S. are between a svelte size 4 or 6—a departure from the average American woman who is a size 14.”

“The jeans come with the tagline, “The soothing touch of nature, now available in jeans.” Three different models will be available. One is infused with aloe vera and another with olive extract. The third, called “Smooth Legs,” contains caffeine, retinol, and algae extract. These ingredients are enclosed in micro-capsules and embedded in the fiber of the jeans. When you squeeze into them, the capsules burst and rub their precious cargo into your skin.”

“This is a one of a kind skirt made from 100% recycled fabrics and featuring both Mario and Link on the front. The rest of the skirt is red and there is a white ric rac detail at the sides. This skirt has invisible pockets, and invisible zipper in the back, and the front panel is lined. Approximate measurements are 30” at low waist, 36” at full hip, and is 22 inches long. Shown on my standard size 8 mannequin which is probably more like an American size 4 or 6.”
