The T-shirt Issue, The T-shirt Issue NO419
Hande Akcayli, Murat Koçyigit and Linda Kostowski back with another series of spectacular t-shirts. Their Muybridge installation is a study set out to capture temporal change in 3D. A three-step sequence of a bird spreading its wings is reconstructed and sculpted into T-Shirts. As the change in the wings' position is a function of time, each wing's plumage is reduced to polygonal form, modeled and rigged into successive arrangements to portray the spreading motion. As its name suggests, the study leans on Eadweard Muybdridge's photography work in the late 1800s, with which he pioneered in the field of capturing animal and human locomotion. In the version designed by The T-Shirt Issue, shape and fractional motion are interpreted through jersey garments. The t-shirts capture a movement that happens in the bat of an eye and perpetuate it by material augmentation.
Can you describe the fabrication process of one of those wings?
After intensive observational research, the wings were sculpted with 3D software. In doing so, each wing was inserted with a skeleton, a framework that allows the wings to be animated. The movement resulting from this defined the key frames of the motion. These 3D objects were unfolded with software that turns them into the two dimensional patterns we use as draft for building the paper and fabric pieces. Every object has reams of paper model twins, which are used as prototypes to see what happens to the object when it moves from the screen to the "real world". After the pattern was made, the fabric was cut out with a laser and ready for assembly. The last part of the process, the sewing, is done with such elaborate craft that it's almost haute couture./

look tearable, black, like crow flying. Captured a bird's motion and visualized into fashion.
The other way to express the speed, fastness, lightweight.
