Debuting at Fashion Week San Diego 2024, this mixed reality experience by Apparel Intelligence, Inc. seamlessly integrated digital and physical fashion on the runway. The project introduced "Posh," a digital double precisely modeled after a human model signed with a professional agency, bridging the real and digital worlds in an innovative runway presentation.
My roles included managing the project from start to finish, assembling the creative team, and leading 3D textile design and texturing for the digital apparel. Through motion capture and advanced cloth simulation, the digital model’s apparel faithfully mirrored the textures and movements of the human model's garment, creating a visually striking, synchronized experience. This groundbreaking project showcased the future of hybrid runways, merging fashion and technology.
Motion Print Textiles | Apparel Intelligence, Inc.
Transcending traditional print design, this project brings textiles to life through the art of motion. Created in collaboration with partners House of Hosoo and Soooul, these prints are animated using code, then rendered onto flowing fabrics inspired by natural elements like cell divisions, bioluminescent waves, and topography. Each textile tells a unique story, brought to cinematic life through seamless loops inspired by floating chiffon and refractive acrylic fabrics.
My role encompassed end-to-end production, including partnership management, client communications, securing the project, negotiating terms, and art direction. Showcased at Japan House in Hollywood, this work represents the intersection of technology and innovative storytelling in textiles.

Apparel Intelligence partners with DressX — the market’s leading largest fashion multi-brand store of digital collections from the most renowned brands and 3D designers.
Our inspiration for this collection is commercial space flight combined with contemporary fashion, haute couture, and Web3 futurism. We combined existing materials, such as auxetic textiles, fiber optics, and meta-aramid, with a mixture of fantasy, such as presolar grains. Our intent was to create “meta-materials” that look more fantastic than reality.
