Fashion Meets Technology

Discover Metamorphosis—the rag & bone spring/summer 2021 collection—created in collaboration with Microsoft. Explore the realms of possibility with digital garments in this surreal virtual showcase.

The result is a virtual showcase that shows how high-level craftsmanship and attention to detail can now carry over into digital fashion, too. The idea isn’t to replace human creativity and craftsmanship. On the contrary: it’s to preserve and evolve it with digital tools that push the realm of possibility while maintaining a high level of quality in the garments themselves.

This isn’t the first time rag & bone has used technology to unveil its collection in an unexpected way. In September of 2019, rag & bone harnessed Microsoft’s Azure Kinect DK technology to transform models and their garments into 3D pointillist images. These images were then projected onto large-scale screens within the show space, bringing the runway to life with multi-dimensional art that challenged attendees to rethink the conventional fashion show format.

 
LUX SINE is an interactive VR documentary set in the Black Hills of South Dakota that explores the forefront of underground particle physics research and the Sacred Wind Cave as they unravel the cosmos from different angles. The experience navigates the subterranean depths of the decommissioned Homestake Gold Mine. At the turn of the century, it’s 350 miles of tunnels a mile below ground became Sanford Underground Research Facility, where scientists employ a “cosmic microphone” to investigate the origins of the universe and the nature of dark matter. In tandem, LUX SINE also takes us to the vast underground network of the Sacred Wind Cave, the labyrinth of ancient caverns at the heart of the Lakota Sioux creation story referred to as “the portal to the spirit world”. Both spaces take us into the realm of sheer darkness as they explore what lies beyond light.
