Parametric Fashion Element

This is an experimental design project where you can either follow these steps to create a design, use this example as-is, or explore different possibilities. It's important to note that sometimes your efforts will succeed, and other times you may need to backtrack and try different approaches.

Model to put it on

The first step is to create the component following the steps shown in the picture. It's a complex component, made by joining 2 components.

Alternatively , you can use a pre-made component such as a cone, straw, or a simple square of paper. The simpler the component, the easier it will be to work with during the proliferation process.

Make multiple components.

Join the components. Experiment to join components in different ways. Or like in the picture.

After understanding how the components come together to shape the form, proceed to plan your final piece.

Here's my plan.

Join the components as per plan. And done. Enjoy your product. You can use this as sleeves or a neck line or scarf. You can also make this using felt or some stiffer material.
