The combined revolution of biotechnologies and synthetic realities (generative, augmented, virtual) is enabling us to literally re-code reality. What if fashion seized this opportunity to re-weave matter and our bodies - their shapes and their functions?
Craftsmanship and savoir-faire are entering the age of the “natural synthetic.” Our next sneakers will be woven from bacteria. Fabrics will change color and structure according to the programming of their fibers. Couture will embrace code.
Welcome to Craftsmanship 6.0: living craftsmanship -sustainable and desirable.
