Valdís Steinars x 66°North
What does the raincoat of the future look like?
Valdís Steinarsdóttir has been researching new ways of manufacturing clothing.
She uses a two-dimensional mold to shape the clothing with natural liquid material.
Now, Valdís and 66°North have joined forces to make the coat of the future.
It is important to constantly re-evaluate how we do things. This project proposes a method for making clothes that challenges us to pause and rethink our current clothing manufacturing practices.
It proposes a technique that eliminates excess scraps, so that just the exact amount of material is used for each garment. Instead of cutting out patterns and sewing, natural liquid material is molded into a two-dimensional shape. So you would rather measure garments in milliliters than in meters.
