Smart textile systems

Introduction

Architecture Master’s alumna Ganit Goldstein challenges the norms of the fashion industry by combining technology and traditional craftsmanship in her textile designs. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, Goldstein’s research integrates 3D printing, motion tracking, and garment customization to revolutionize the way we produce fit-to-measure clothes for verious applications including sensing textiles in extreme environments.

Solution & Impact

Goldstein’s approach to fashion design addresses the environmental impact of the industry while revisiting traditional methods. By incorporating technologies like 3D printing and motion tracking, and integrated sensing systems into clothing she aims to minimize waste, improve garment fit and durability, and transform the retail experience. Her work holds potential for reducing carbon emissions and textile waste in the fashion industry and improve garment production methodologies within extreme environments.
