Cindy Fodor
Cindy Fodor`s work combines the worlds of fashion design, science and technology. She is known for not going the usual way. Instead of doing an internship at a tailor`s shop or at a designer`s atelier, she has chosen to do it at a makerspace so that she can learn 3D modeling, 3d printing and laser cut methods. After finishing her internship, she was full of ideas about how she can integrate this knowledge in her work.
You can recognize her designs in case you look at the details.
She mostly uses small laser-cutted motives, which she applies by hand on tulle fabric or she 3D prints small patterns onto the fabric. Through this complex process, she works for weeks to create one unique couture piece. This often means applying more than 300 pieces by hand, but for the designer it is a meditative process.
At the moment, she is working on fusing sustainable materials with 3D printing technology so that she can make her 3D printed designs even more sustainable. In her latest project, she wanted to deepen her knowledge in biomaterials so she travelled to Milan to learn from the bests in this discipline. When working with biomaterials, she takes a step back and starts the design process with the materials. She develops her own fabrics in her home laboratory by herself. This approach allows her to explore new ways in the field of material research and bridge the gap between fashion, science and environmental protection.
Due to her excessively high standards she does not outsource complex processes like 3D printing or material research but she learns them step by step and she takes care of the processes from the beginning till the very end by herself.
