Week 1
Final Project Proposal
My Ideas
In combining my interests in fashion and engineering I am interested in pursuing either a creative/artistic final project
or a application-based e-textile final project.
On the more creative end, I would love to create a dynamic garment with multiple moving components. I could also incoporate a sort of toggled color changing function. Iris van Herpen is a designer that is known to incorporate kinetic pieces in her designs as shown to the right.

Loomia E-Textile
In regards to an applied e-textiles, I am also interested in creating a knitted fabric that can sense the level of stretch/strain in either warp or weft directions. On the left is an example of an electronic textile with heating and light emitting capabailities made by Loomia.
