The COLL3CTIV3's inaugural collection, 'STRANG3 ATTRACTION' explores chaos theory, linking strange attractors and fractals to human experiences through chaotic patterns shared across our journeys.
Ariam's unwavering morals is shown through modular 3D printed supports inspired by oceanic fractals feat. eggshell biocomposite, reinforcing an inner heel & sole. Its tranformation continues with an adjustable leather alternative gaiter.
The Uhmamod sneaker represents care & protection for valued individuals through a soft knitted sock protected by a 3D printed strange attractor inspired exterior.
