The story - OurOwnsKIN is a project which explores human foot skin to rethink how we design for future manufactured 3D printed and grown shoes.
We translate anatomical and emotional perspectives of the body into design for items we wear - from footwear to fashion apparel. We run design thinking workshops with collaborators and wearers, evoking insights to create solutions for critical design and future manufacturing. A collection of varied natural non woven materials were selected and applied to a methodology in a masters educational context.
