MYRIAM HOFMANN

Our bodies have become the new religion and we try to perfect it constantly. Where does this body-centeredness come from and when is this display a social provocation, a political statement or just vulgar?

​

This question has moved me to develop a collection that deals with the external characteristics of a woman and its effect on society.

The focus at this collection is on innovative processing techniques such as Bonding instead of sewing laser cutting when cutting and Thermoforming / deep drawing of fabrics.

​

My vision is to integrate the added value of 3D printing into the fashion industry.

I worked on a 3D printed bikini, which is superior to conventional bikinis due to a special procedure and material composition.

 

The 3D bikini provides the perfect fit for any breast shape through custom geometry, which is determined using a 3D body scan. By using the latest technology, a design is possible that can not be produced using traditional manufacturing techniques.
