I am delighted to share that my research has been included in a new book - my contribution focuses on the use of 3D CAD technologies to digitally restore elements of the Daishōji taireifuku, a circa 1887-1890 Japanese ceremonial court dress that originally belonged to the Meiji Empress.

I am delighted to share that my MA research has been published for open access. Titled: Virtual Dress, Real Responsibilities: Considerations of 3D CAD Patternmaking to Develop Substitute Garments for Historic Dress Research and Display.

Recently I was invited back to Bunka Gakuen University to host a lecture about using digital tools in fashion research. Students also tried out the university's new Meta Quest 3 headsets to design 3D garments in virtual reality using Gravity Sketch. More: www.fashionlacrum.com/articles/usi...

This week I worked on adding a selection of furisode to the Matsukata House Museum collection. These garments have a beautiful and layered history - was very exciting to work on these pieces to aid with future research and display.

More of the exhibition I developed for the Matsukata House Museum, focusing on the evolution of technology at Nishimachi International School. Been an incredible experience to see visitor's eyes light up when seeing tech they recognize & students seeing them for the first time ever.

For the past few months I've been preparing an exhibition for the Matsukata House Museum, focusing on the evolution of technology. Been especially exciting getting up close to these old computers and having them be in working order after several decades (or more!)

For those who remember or play on Stardoll, here's a throwback to some concepts I worked on for my 2020 graduate collection 🌈 More info here: www.fashionlacrum.com/articles/fro...

Late last year, the transcript of a speech I presented at the symposium about the Meiji Empress’ taireifuku was published in Kamizono. It speaks about my research towards preserving the Meiji Empress' tareifuku with the assistance of 3D technology.
