Students from Summa Fashion and Fontys Engineering took on a unique challenge together: incorporate (new) technologies into a high-tech garment. They spent an entire semester working in groups on the project, culminating in the Fashion Tech Walk. You can experience this Tech Walk during DDW!
Heartbeat
Follow the beat of your own heart and show your backbone when needed: that’s what Summa Fashion students Ting Ting Ye and David Klaassen demonstrate with their garment 'Heartbeat.' The dress represents the human spine and heart, and even has visible circulation through a pumping mechanism. No matter how different we look on the outside, we are all human on the inside.
Fashion Tech installation: AUSLĂ„NDER
Summa Fashion talents Victoria, Ellis, and Martje combined fashion, technology, and a generous dose of creativity to design and create a mechanical garment. The result is the unique multimedia installation 'AUSLĂ„NDER'.
"What doth maketh thee feeleth like the AUSLÄNDER” is a bridge between the tangible and spacetime. Or something like that. It touches on aspects that for some may be seen as irrelevant or even deemed untrue…

The Angel's Dress
No matter how hard you try to behave like an angel, your emotions can always take over and turn you into a devil. That’s what Fontys Engineering students Diana Zolotareva, Mandy Sekeris, Jesse van de Laar, and Romee van den Broek demonstrate with "the Angel's Dress." The stunning dress, with its moving wings, lights up in a heavenly glow. But just like your emotions, the dress can suddenly change and reveal its devilish side.
