Digital Twin for MFI Archive Garments

5th January to 28th January
This project will take you through the process of creating a digital twin for MFI archival garment. You will get inducted in MFI resources, you will also be offered workshops in CLO3D and group feedback sessions. Project is perfect for beginners interested in digital product creation.

This project invites you to create your own digital twin of one of the generic archival garments. You will get an induction into MFI extensive archival garments collection.

You will then be given an induction and skill-building sessions in CLO3D – an industry-leading digital garment development software. Building on this knowledge, you will be invited to recreate one of the archival garments digitally. You will be working in groups, along with an experienced CLO3D lecturer who will be guiding and supporting you throughout the process. As an outcome of this project, each of you will develop your own digital twin, which you can use as a foundation of your digital portfolio. The best works will also be added to MFI garment archive along with the physical garment.
