HIDDEN FLOORS

Hidden Floors explores the world of digital fashion, design and the creative process without the material constraints of fabric, scale and even gravity.
A partnership project led by Scotland Re:Designed, Hidden Floors brought together four Dundee-based designers, four Applied Arts Scotland Makers, and four digital fashion creatives from Fashion Interrupted alongside Lateral North. Hidden Floors is an experimental collaboration that aims to inspire new ways of thinking and working utilising new technologies within fashion.
Through group workshops and 1:1 sessions, the Fashion Interrupted team worked with the collaborating pairs to create digital fashion looks that incorporated elements of both the designer and maker’s practise. Using AI image generation tools DALL:E and Midjourney, the designers and makers input images of their own work and text prompts to explore new concepts. They were introduced to digital pattern making software Clo3D, where they could visualise their look on a diverse cast of bespoke avatars created for the project.
