What if, instead of being able to travel from country to country, there was the possibility of traveling between planets? ‘EXO’, is inspired by the possibility of travelling between planets. Various projects are currently in development that pretend to send human beings to colonize nearest planets from Earth. At first it may sound like a distant future and more than unlikely but in fact, this destiny is closer than we expect. The following women's wear collection seamlessly fuses elements of the past, present, and future within its garments. Each fabric within the collection embraces sustainability through diverse avenues: recycled materials, end-of-rolls, organic fibers, and more. I developed a machine capable of transforming plastic bottles into filament. For the construction of the machine I based myself on an open-source project. This machine allows you to turn a bottle of water into 3D filament. Both for these first tests and for its subsequent production, I have made use of waste water bottles from the family business, since large quantities are continually disposed of. Also, using a 3D scan of a mannequin, I created a unique garment design that was printed using 3D printer flexible filament. This process that took aproximately 400h for piece (total of 2 garments) allowed for a precise fit on the mannequin. The design demonstrates the exciting possibilities of using 3D printing technology in the fashion industry. By envisioning human life in space, I sought to create a fusion of modern technology with ancient civilizations. This hybrid design approach embodies the concept of a new civilization that could emerge from space exploration. The resulting garments blend futuristic elements with traditional patterns, textures, and materials, serving as a visual representation of a possible future that combines humanity's past and present.
