i-D Magazine

The world we live in today is wrought with controversy and drastic changes due to our ever-evolving lifestyle. The Internet and social media have had a revolutionary impact on the way we interact, socialize, and even think about the world around us. Even though this technologically induced society we live in is thriving with a plethora of knowledge, society has become even more self-centered. The Speak Up Issue of i-D strives to bring awareness to social, ethical, political, and caring causes. This publication was created as a project for a Current Trends and Forecasting class at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This is a recreation of a i-D magazine and is not an official i-D publication.

i-D trend<br />

grids & gradients<br />

DIGITAL PRINTING lends precision to grids and ombre effects, which are then composed<br />

in planes that play with perspective. Hand-painted detail, brush strokes<br />

and airbrushed graduated tones lend a more textured, spontaneous direction to<br />

the trend. Crisp geometric forms are overlaid to reveal unusual overlaps of<br />

semi-translucent color and form.<br />

TEXT BRYNN MCKINSTRY<br />

Israeli fashion designer Noa Raviv has integrated<br />

3D-printed elements into ruffled garments influenced<br />

by distorted digital drawings. Noa Raviv printed and<br />

stitched lines and grids onto fabrics to evoke images<br />

of corrupted 3D drawings made using computer modelling<br />

software. “While working on a 3D software I was<br />

fascinated by the grid shown on the 2D screen and by<br />

the way black repetitive lines defines voluminous objects,”<br />

Raviv says. Tulle and silk organza fabrics in black,<br />

white and sheer tones are layered, ruffled and pleated<br />

into voluminous shapes. These embellishments snake<br />

over the shoulders and cover the chests of the dresses.<br />

“I chose the materials that had the most innovative look and the ones that I thought would best fit,” Raviv explained.<br />

Grid-like patterns are warped and stretched across parts of the garments to create optical illusions across the body.<br />

Two 3D-printed pieces, formed from ribbed layers of polymer, were created on a Stratasys Objet Connex multi-material<br />

machine. Raviv used the shapes of broken Greek and Roman marble sculptures to inform the asymmetric silhouettes.<br />

The silhouettes were influenced by classical sculptures, which were the point of departure for creating the<br />

collection. This creates a juxtaposition between the technological grid and classic silhouettes.<br />
