‘Fashion designers aren’t about innovation,
they are about fantasy’.

‘The vogue world can hardly ignore environmental impact of the production of clothing, and with that, its technical innovations.’

Vision
Collaboration between fashion designers and technicians is needed for more fashionable technology on the commercial market. Before successful collaboration can be achieved, some pitfalls need to be solved. This can be done with this collaboration platform.
  'Imagine... an atelier with fashion designers, technical developers, scientists and material experts, all working together as in a design laboratory.
Sewing machines next to highly intelligent computers, 3D printers next to irons-- creating extraordinary, conceptual products, a renewed function of couture.'

Initiative
Marina Toeters has always been curious about big companies with innovative (secret) processes: 'In the second and third year of my fashion design study I tried to start collaboration projects. [GRIP] [Burberry] [Indust] Because these projects did not succeed, I decided to spend a master year to research this topic to find out why.' This project started as Master thesis for the Graduated School for Visual Art and Design, pathway Fashion Design. www.mahku.nl
