Initiative intro   blog     join by-wire.net Marina Toeters 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.' Experiences in the techno-fashion field 'From own experiences I see that several reasons prevent fashionable techn=ology from breaking through,' said Marina Toeters. Acceptance in society is one reason. There are opportunities for future fashion designers but then designers must collaborate with technicians. But it is very hard to create a good spillover with technicians. Maybe cause of our different backgrounds and communication methods. To position my inter-disciplinary design concepts more securely in the commercial fashion world, I need to explore the creative gap between fashion designers and technicians.

The Netherlands’s first experience with this mass production standard began in Twente. Because I was born and raised in Twente, it is no surprise that I am interested in this subject. Twente still boasts textile companies. See my data resume for more background information [CV]
