As the first to graduate with a full digital collection back in 2016 her work always questions the way in which we will fit, purchase and wear clothing in the future. Unconstrained by the boundaries of the physical realm, The Fabricant creates intriguing and seductive 3D fashion narratives of endless possibility, wasting nothing but data.
