Open Couture is an Open-Source framework for digital fashion design, focused on accessibility, collaboration, and critical reflection on the fashion industry. Developed for Augmented Reality environments, it enables designers to create, simulate, and share garments that exist purely in digital space. Open Couture challenges traditional notions of authorship and ownership in fashion by promoting transparency, open participation, and the free exchange of knowledge. It embraces digital materiality, generative aesthetics, and speculative design to explore new ways of creating fashion beyond physical production. As a cultural and technological platform, Open Couture invites designers, coders, and artists to rethink what clothing can be in a post-material, networked world.

Liquescence is the first digital fashion collection created using the Open Couture framework. It explores the fluid boundaries between body and code, nature and computation, texture and simulation. Designed to grow algorithmically around the digital body, each piece emerges from processes such as differential growth, recursive geometry, and organic motion. Liquescence reflects on the liquefaction of fashion in the post-material age — where garments are no longer worn, but rendered; not produced, but performed. Rather than fixed silhouettes, the collection offers dynamic, evolving structures that inhabit digital space and invite new rituals of self-expression.
