WORKS ELABORATION:
With the spread and development of virtual technology, fan economy, and social media, a large number of virtual influencers have emerged, gaining a large number of fans and followers.
Virtual humans, aided by CGI technology, are trying to be closer to real humans. They have near-real appearances, perfect figures, vivid personalities, advanced ideas, and even social relationships. But we, real humans, are going against the grain. Idolizing virtual humans, imitating their appearance, dress-up, and thinking patterns, people are active on social media with a “packaged” self-image, trying to achieve the self-identity lacking in real life in the virtual online world.
TUTOR COMMENT:
This graduation design project by Ms. Sun Fanrui is a series of garment designs around the theme of the transforming relationship between digital and physical people. It presents the garment structure by combining fabric with 3D printing technology and expresses the attempt to explore perceptions of the future fashion forms with exaggerated shapes. This graduation project has a novel design theme and clear design concepts. The selected materials are forward-looking in some way. The whole piece is delicately made with reasonable techniques and in rich layers, presenting comparatively perfect visual effects.
