01. Trauma

Trauma features a digitally constructed full-length gown in black taffeta, built over a corseted base with a dual closure system: internal lacing and external buttons. The digital patternmaking was executed in Marvelous Designer, based on the original physical pattern. Key challenges included simulating over 30 meters of gathered fabric, preserving silhouette volume and weight without compromising stability. This look is part of my Master's collection EGO, NÉMESIS, and reflects a hybrid workflow: from physical pattern drafting to CLO3D prototyping, Marvelous simulation, and final real-world construction.

This look was developed through a hybrid workflow combining traditional fashion techniques with digital simulation tools:

- Physical pattern-making laid the foundation for silhouette, structure, and proportion.

- Digital reconstruction in CLO3D enabled virtual fittings, fabric testing, and proportion refinement prior to final design approval.

- Cloth simulation studies in Marvelous were carried out to replicate real-world fabric behavior, focusing on ruffle dynamics and volume control.

- Physical realization of the garment incorporated feedback from digital testing, allowing precise tailoring and improved structural accuracy.

3D VIEWPORT: Corset Closure System

Inner lace-up and external button closure were constructed as separate layers, with fastening logic and tension zones calibrated to avoid intersection and maintain fit accuracy.

PHYSICAL OUTCOME

The final physical garment was informed by digital testing, with fabric behavior and proportions validated through simulation feedback.
