ANIMATIONS, Charles James: Beyond Fashion, DS+R

2015

Digital content created for Charles James: Beyond Fashion, exhibition @ the Costume Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Animation and exhibition design completed as design team at Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Video rights to Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

Analytical animations were designed for and displayed adjacent to 27 garments designed by Charles James. Storyboards were created collaboratively with the curators at the museum, to highlight each gown’s unique design concept and demonstrate their innovative structural assemblies, patterns, and other hidden features. Each garment was 3D scanned at the museum and re-constructed as a high resolution digital model, which was then used to create the animations.

The full collection of animations is on The Met's Website.
