Anne Cranny-Francis

Macquarie University, Australia

This is a photo-essay of the design philosophy and practice of a three-sister fashion design team based in Newcastle, Australia. Their interest in fabrication, textiles and technology in fashion led them to participate in the Australian Network of Art and Technology (ANAT)'s reSkin wearable technology laboratory 2007. The lab explored the integration of electronics and new materials into traditional craft practices and design artefacts. This photo-essay addresses questions raised by Anne Cranny-Francis that came out of that ReSkin experience, as well as general questions relating to their design practice.

Key Words: body • creative industries • design • senses • technology • textile • wearable
