DECRYPTED GARMENTS



Since I got my first computer at the age of eleven, I quickly found myself immersed in virtual chat rooms such as Habia World or Habbo. I loved to dress my virtual avatar in the pixelated dresses and I'd dream to own them in reality. 
Decrypted Garments is a collection of 8 looks that are created by 3d scanning and digitally manipulating my own wardrobe during the time of pandemic in the beginning of 2020. I explored my own digital identity and speculated how could we communicate digital garments in the future. 
In the digital space there's no need for the wearer of the clothes, they can 'wear' themselves.
