2D/3D Fashion Product Development Prototype Flamingo Pua IV
- CLO3D virtual fashion show
CLO3D was the application used to create a virtual fashion show for the Flamingo Pua series. I will have more posts in the near future relating to integration testing of the CLO3D application in an educational setting for specialized use as a fashion product visualization tool as well as a student project that included the use of the CLO3D application.

palette, print pattern and garment sketch development.
Garment patterns were quickly developed and simulations were visualized using OptiTex PDS.
Ideas for graphics were added to basic silhouette sketches (above) and used as a guide to develop final surface patterns/graphics (below).
Garment patterns were exported from OptiTex and imported into Adobe Illustrator full size (above). All garment pattern lines were set to invisible except perimeter cut lines. Graphics and surface patterns were developed inside the cut lines for each full size garment pattern piece.
Engineered garment surface patterns were tested in the OptiTex PDS 3D application (above).

– color palette, print pattern and garment sketch development.
Color palette, print pattern and garment sketch development Color, styling and silhouette direction were researched using WGSN (Worth Global Styling Network). It is the leading online global trend and sourcing network.
“WGSN is the leading online trend-analysis and research service providing creative and business intelligence for the apparel, style, design and retail industries.” History of WGSN
All WGSN reports are downloadable and fully editable. My favorite category is Design and product Development - inspiration, influences research color key items, silhouette, styling and graphics 2 years in advance for every fashion category you can think of.

2D/3D Fashion Product Development Prototype Flamingo Pua I
This fashion product development product prototype project was specifically developed by Elaine Polvinen, MFA & Dr. Lynn Boorady, Buffalo State College, USA to incorporate a visual exotic Hawaiian theme into a series of real world garments and to experiment and explore integrating multiple 2D and 3D development techniques. Applications used for development of this series were Adobe Creative Suite [Photoshop & Illustrator], OptiTex and CLO3D.
CONCEPT/SILHOUETTE DEVELOPMENT
INSPIRATION
The inspiration for the Flamingo Pua Series is a synthesis of the simplicity and beauty of the anthurium plant. The simplicity of the early Hawaiian holoku and muu’muu garments also provided an additional inspiration for the simple shapes of the 100% cotton jersey garment series.
CONCEPT RESEARCH
The project began with visual research and development of 2D visuals of the anthurium, color, garment silhouette and styling trend research as well as research into the historical development of the early Hawaiian holoku garment and Hawaiian fashion. According research conducted by Arthur (1997) the hawaiian holoku originated as a loose gown for everyday wear. Her research states twentieth century “Lingerie-style holokeq \o(u,-) were made in cottons such as muslin, batiste and dimity, and had a straighter silhouette than previously.” The Hawaiian muu’muu was a loose fitting , shorter informal version of the holoku. The word muu’ muu means “cut off” because it lacked a yoke.
Information about Hawaiian shirts an dresses can be located here and here.

Body Scanning & OptiTex
The School of the Professions, in conjunction with the Technology Department and Fashion and Textile Technology (FTT) program (at Buffalo State College) hosted a reception to demonstrate how the NX-16 3-D body scanner works in conjunction with OptiTex PDS yesterday. The short video below shows you how the body scanner operates.
The video below demonstrates how the custom body scan can be easily integrated into the OptiTex PDS program.
The Acquisition of the body scanner will increase technology capabilities for FTT program curriculum, research capabilities and collaboration opportunities.

OptiTex for Handbag Product Development
Garments are not the only fashion items that can be developed using the OptiTex multidimensional application. It can also be used for 2D/3D fashion handbag development. I have pasted some video clips and photos of handbags that were developed using the OptiTex 2D/3D application. For more information about the variety of industries that use the application visit the OptiTex site directly.
