A.I.S.A.C. UPGRADE (Artificial Intelligence shoes , accessories and clothes )

The project develops and deepens the outcomes matured within the last university's design Lab 5, leading to the creation of a collection composed by 18 self-produced and handmade fashion accessories.

The conceptual method starts with an image of inspiration that reflects the Cyberpunk mood, looking at the urban environments and the representation of Mirrorshades Movement, adding functionality and elegance to the accessories through the use of geometries and reflective materials, pearly leather or opaque, in contrast between them.

The project activity has lasted about four months, and was divided into 3 phases which document the creative process :

1 . Discover and analyze the theme by personal passions for the metallic materials, artificial parts, and their interaction with the body as external functional coating or integral part of it, maintaining order, shapes and colors in harmony with each other to sharpen the grace and simplicity of the geometry, sometimes used as entire surfaces and other times like embedded or closed dowels one to each other.

2 . Graphical Search starting from images of inspiration. Processing of colors palette and materials, sketches and technical drawings (250 accessories, shoes, jewelry ).

3 . Selection of proper materials by developing a sensitivity to the leather, small metal parts and elastic bands. Research for the best performance given by crafting manipulation through various techniques (winding, engraving, cutting , interlocking , overlapping , three-D stratification) and study of the right proportions between glossy, matte and reflective.

Starting from the concept of reuse, the prototyping activities of handmade accessories, all self-produced, lasted about a month and ended with the construction of a series of jewelry and clothing in theme with the collection. An opportunity to deepen and evolve, with this project, the reference models chosen during the study involving them in the new creations.
