Greta Oto Dress, 2019

Design by threeASFOUR and Travis Fitch

……

The latest creation of the US designer trio threeASFOUR, together with designer Travis Fitch, is a high-end, commercialize dress that explores the microscopic venation of butterfly wings, especially the insect coloration regarding play with light. Printing directly onto polyester fabric, threeASFOUR and Fitch developed a cellular approach, using the lenticular effect to play with light and color in the design. By printing spherical, fish skin sized cells onto the fabric that consist of a clear lens, with two strips of color underlying it, the color of the dress shifts with each diminutive change of angle of illumination, creating an iridescent and mesmerising display of golden-blue color diversity.
