This project aims to test the process of creating a mixed reality (MR) fashion show in collaboration with clients. The clients were 5th semester fashion design students at GIU (German International University) taking a course called “Multimedia and Fashion Event Planning,” where students were tasked with planning and executing a fashion show that combines both physical and digital garments. As the responsible teaching assistant in this course,  I participated in creating the course content and introduced students to digital media techniques for showcasing their digital garments. I offered to create customized avatars based on each student’s design concept to showcase their digital garments efficiently.

 

The concept of the MR fashion show merges real models and garments with digital avatars and digital garments. The show aimed to teasing the audience by showing them the digital avatars first then physical models with real garments enters the show. The process began with a Pre-Production phase where students were divided into groups to plan various parts of the show. During the Production phase, I created a digital avatar with Egyptian features and worked closely with students to style it based on their vision and design inspirations.
