This project explores two complementary approaches to form-giving in fashion using 3D printing on flexible meshes. Part A focuses on modular units that can be reconfigured through various joineries, promoting reusable and adaptable garments. Part B investigates a continuous 3D-printed pattern on mesh fabric, where controlled stiffness guides volumetric form, transforming the textile into an active structural system. Initial explorations with jute, mesh, and wire informed material behaviour, combining flexibility and structure. Together, these methods merge material manipulation and digital fabrication to create sustainable, form-responsive textile systems.
