Synflux

Creating a pluralistic look in times of environmental crisis–––that is the raison d’être of Synflux↗︎. We want to sustain the richness of fashion while evolving into a rational and efficient clothing production method that adapts to the global environment. Design and technology have the power to regenerate nature and expand creativity. We are working with the belief that we can realize a pluralistic future beyond that.

Transition to optimized production–––We aim to move toward optimized production, which overcomes the mass production of today’s fashion industry. We will change the traditional way of making clothes, where we make too much and throw it away, to one where we make just the right amount and there is no waste. We are implementing the technology and knowledge for this purpose.

Unleashing digital creativity–––By joining forces with artificial intelligence and artificial life and inviting them into the design process, we explore vibrant expressions that cannot be achieved with human power alone. We are developing a next-generation system that combines the creation of diverse body shapes and images, which is only possible with digital technology, and sustainable design.

Algorithmic Couture

Algorithmic Couture↗︎ is a design engine equipped with Synflux’s unique algorithm. It is possible to create clothing designs and patterns that minimize waste. By optimizing the design of patterns, which are the core of garment production, using differential geometry and machine learning algorithms, we can reduce textile loss and material costs, where traditionally 15-30% was wasted. At the same time, it supports the creativity of designers and pattern makers by generating many variations of patterns and designs.
