I was inspired by the intricate ceiling of King’s College Chapel, Cambridge. In the source photo taken recently by my husband, I noticed the affinity of its geometry and structure to the human body. I love the customization of the clothing from constrvt!
http://constrvct.com/designs/4974
What a pity – upload there is not working anymore…
I’m not able to see my design :( but I Love my picture :)…

Thank you Ecouterre for leading the way for sustainable fashion! And much gratitude to CONSTRVCT for creating this beautiful technology. I have already spent hours and hours on it (oopsies!)
Please look closely at my design, there is a hidden image in it that even I couldn’t see until I used this design interface. There are also many forest devas (or nature spirits). I took this photo of a sacred Banyan tree while traveling in India. Looking at it helps me to stay grounded and connect with nature:
http://constrvct.com/designs/4999
Amazing contest! Followed all the steps would love to win!
This dress is amazing and I love ecouterre!

When I first read about CONSTRVCT, I thought it would fit perfectly my aspirations about using fashion design to communicate to people my research into the good applications of fungi and the beauty of these organisms. I have used one of their images to create this dress: http://www.constrvct.com/designs/5018
Here is my dress:

As an architect, I love to play with scale. Using a photo I took of the Sydney Opera House, the geometric tile pattern looks almost like a natural animal skin when mirrored and placed on the dress. I tried to align the slight building curvature to flatter the female figure. It would look great styled with nude patent pumps or a pop of fuschia!
Constrvt is simply an awesome concept with great execution! I was obsessed with the Continuum duo’s D.Dress and admire this new line just as much. Keep up the amazing work!
Working with a little more color, the structure of the Perth Maritime Museum is placed to structure the lines of the dress and flatter the figure: http://constrvct.com/designs/4944
I also happen to be a sucker for any chevron ;)
Thanks again for hosting this great competition!
http://constrvct.com/designs/5042
So fun and simple! Great idea for a website!
I absolutely love this concept and for my design I chose a picture from one of my favorite places in the entire world, along the Yarra river bank.

I had a blast making my designs! I had to finally force myself to stop after five. I had a tough time choosing one, but finally picked a picture I took of a friend’s band. We all had such a great night, and I’d love to immortalize it with a dress! http://constrvct.com/designs/5094
Thanks!
http://constrvct.com/designs/5031
As an architect, I love playing with scale. Using a photo I took of the Sydney Opera House, the geometric patterning of the tiles looks a bit like a natural skin or animal print. The slight curves of the building are placed to to be figure flattering. I’d love to style it with nude pumps or a punch of fuchsia!
I’ve been a fan of the Continuum girls since the d.dress and would love to see my hours playing with their amazing applications come to life. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
http://www.constrvct.com/designs/5098
I designed this dress with one of my Plein Air Paintings. You can see my blog about the painting here: http://photographerpainterprintmaker.com/2011/05/28/plein-air-at-the-amherstburg-navy-yard/
I loved how many different looks I could get from this one painting. I think this dress would look awesome for Easter! I can’t wait to try more of my paintings and photos as dress designs.

I’ve always loved the intersection of design and technology, so I couldn’t resist using an image of a responsive sculpture I designed and built alongside two classmates.
It’s overlayed with two shades from pantone’s spring 2013 colors to give it a punch of colorblocking in the background!
http://constrvct.com/designs/5170
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity ! As an artist/designer I’ve always wanted to be able to experiment with making my own printed fabric. It was interesting to utilize the different options, to create such strikingly different effects. Love CONSTRVCT’s and Ecouterre!!!!
