  • Learning From Your Virtual Twin: Kerry Murphy on Digital Fashion and Self-Actualization

    In this episode, Liam speaks with Kerry Murphy, co-founder of digital fashion house The Fabricant, to learn how ones and zeros are spun, woven, and stitched into virtual couture.

    In designing couture that doesn't—or can't—exist in physical space, The Fabricant also explores ideas of embodiment and self-actualization. Murphy pushes these concepts even further, by interacting with his own "virtual twin," composed from 3D-scans of his body.
