Introduction - During spring 2023, Parsons and Roblox had a collaboration studio in which MFA DT students create digital fashion pieces for Roblox players. I was one of the participants, creating two independent pieces of fashion for the studio.

Case 1: The Doodle Suit

Roles:

Julie Hu (Visual Design, Sculpting, Texturing, Rigging, Importing into Roblox Studio)

For my first Roblox Fashion Project, I decided to create a suit that combines the catchy and kawaii elements of Harajuku fashion trends with timeless patterns of nature and art nouveau decor. I was especially fascinated with the illustrations by German naturalist Ernst Haeckel, especially his works on sea creatures and forms.

Case 2: The Midnight Traveller’s Suite

Roles:

Fija Dahlia: Visual Design (Clothing Appearance）

Julie Hu: Sculpting, Visual Design (Pattern)

July Yu: Rigging

Yoshe Li: Modeling

For our second case, we decided to create a piece that combines traditional patterns of Chinese painting and vintage-coded dress-suits.
