Something akin to this already exists for military/outdoor/tacticool use: the PALS system.

Reminds of when I was a hippy who was skeptical of the military but had an LC-1 ALICE Pack or when I got the ALICE belt when I'd developed a shapeshift based on Terra from Teen Titans.

Very cool paper! Seems to me like legos for clothing.

Luckily for me, I have no "fashion". The extent of what I do have is limited to the latest cool graphic T-Shirt I can find. My wife says I have too many, but I disagree.

What a neat idea! I see this as a sort of... clothing gridfinity. [0] Basically a few interfaces to implement and anything unspec'd is fair game to be creative with for your own use/small scale production, and everything still mostly clicks. It's neat to imagine a "more serious" version of this, where we have an "ikea for fashion" or something, but that might be difficult; the patchy-look is going to limit things to a particular style and it won't have mass-appeal, but that can also be a positive! Ex:

> P6 was particularly excited about using the system’s constraints to explore visual patterns such as patchwork and cutout.

Would be cool if people could jump into making their own clothes with out requiring the up front expensive of needles/thread/sewing machine. Just buy the material you need and go!

I love the picture painted of an ikea for fashion. I’m working on an idea where instead of searching for individual garments you first create the outfit (using gen ai) and then shop the complete look (I basically reverse search the pieces of the generated outfit to find similar items)

But it would be so cool if you could like print the fabric pieces and send them and the person assembles their created outfit.

This definitely got me thinking

graypegg•2mo ago
That's a really cool idea! I'm not sure of the specifics, but I believe digital printing on fabric isn't outrageously expensive, and being custom made per layout would let you hide a lot of the patch-like structure with the actual design. (I imagine it would be a lot less noticeable if a seam follows a line in the design, or a pleat like in the dress examples from the paper) Insanely cool value prop to get some of these patches in the mail, that assemble into a choice of a few different garments, all pairing well together. And if you like a fabric/pattern from a prior piece, now it can be a highlight in another garment.

Please make a men's size+cut version if you do that, you have an interested customer #1!
