Last year it was Poincare Conjecture that inspired Dai Fujiwara to present geometry in his collection in Paris fashion week. This year I am in awe about 3-D printing used in fashion - computers, geometry, architecture - all combined together and applied to create wearable sculptures - not for everyday use of course. Let me just post pictures I collected from the internet of amazing creations by Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen (born 1984). From her webpage:
The essence of van Herpen is expressing the character and emotions of an unique woman and to extend the shape of the feminine body in detail. She mixes craftsmanship- using old and forgotten techniques- with innovation and materials inspired on the world to come.
Mixing together my math education + experience in knitting and crochet + love of art, I came up with my book Crocheting Adventures with the Hyperbolic Planes and this blog. If you would like me to give a talk or workshop about art and math (not only about this connection in my own work), on history of mathematics, some fun with math,or something else - please contact me directly. I would be happy to participate with my work in your event - let me know!To see my art please visit http://dainataimina.blogspot.com/
