With over a decade working in clean technology innovations, Julia has always been keen to reduce waste and environmental footprints across the sector.
With her work in 3D printing of clothing, gone one are the days of rigid, impossible to wear pieces, or small 3D printers creating extra handwork and wasted materials. In The New Age Lab, clothes are created digitally and 3D-printed using flexible materials and large-format 3D printers.
Julia considers that the fashion industry (as any other) needs not just “organic materials,” but even more, it needs organic zero-impact processes. She pays attention to the adoption of 3D printing for the fashion industry to implement it with a new 3D printing design approach and use the technology for sustainability, not against it. “Technology is not deterministic; people are,” believes Julia.
