Fashion Says is an interactive garment experience that explores how dynamic design can extend the lifespan of fashion. Viewers use hand gestures to transform the garment's digital surface in real time, switching between weaving patterns projected onto a physical garment through TouchDesigner. Each interaction produces a unique visual result, meaning the garment never looks the same way twice. The project combines traditional fashion design with interactive technology, proposing that craftsmanship deserves more than a single moment to be seen.
