MER KA BA / threeASFOUR

Posted in Design - Fashion by * FORMAKERS

First shown during New York Fashion Week and now part of a 5-month long exhibition at the Jewish Museum, the MER KA BA collection by the New York-based fashion collective threeASFOUR fuses avant-garde couture, architecture, video projections and, of course, 3D Printing.

Inspired by sacred geometry and tile patterns found in synagogues, churches, and mosques around the world, the exhibition brings together ancient motifs and contemporary design aesthetics to reflect the group’s hybrid identity and utopian vision.

Gabriel Asfour, Adi Gil, and Angela Donhauser, the designers of threeASFOUR, were born in Lebanon, Israel, and Tajikistan, respectively, and their diverse backgrounds have influenced their poetic and socially-conscious approach to fashion.

For the two 3D printed dresses in the MER KA BA collection, threeASFOUR collaborated with architect Bradley Rothenberg to develop 3D-printed textiles based on symbolic latticework and Materialise to bring the pieces to life.
