Join us for a special Design Hour masterclass with d_archive, the collective pioneering new ways to preserve and re-activate fragile historical garments through digital tools.
This session will introduce how d_archive applies 3D technologies in fashion heritage research, conservation, and re-interpretation. Through case studies, the team will share their approach, techniques, and software pipeline, making the session accessible to all audiences—no prior 3D experience required.
Session details:
- Free virtual workshop
- September 11, 11AM BST / 6AM EST / 12PM CET
What to expect:
- Case studies on using 3D tools for fashion heritage research
- Insights into the 3D techniques and pipeline behind each project
- Reflections on translating traditional craftsmanship into digital form
- Access to historical garment patterns ready to use in CLO3D or similar software
Following the session, we’ll launch a competition inviting designers to reimagine the patterns shared during the workshop. Selected works will be highlighted on SYKY and d_archive platforms — a chance to apply what you’ve learned and gain visibility in the community.
