The stake behind clothing for manikins is that it helps them to feel more human. It projects the user in a realistic scenario providing more engagement. It adds branding elements to the mannikin and conveys brand values as well as design language.
With one week ahead of me I needed to decide which piece of clothing I would design to stay relevant. I ended up designing a unisex top to give an overall idea of the collection.
The current clothing range lacks structure and unison. In term of materials, color/trim direction and branding elements. Every piece of clothing is different. We’re looking to harmonize the whole collection.
On the products composed of fabric we can notice 2 dominant colors with close to a 50/50 distribution. Color accent on interactions area + white logo.
Scandinavian heritage
Use of local materials for a short circuit production.
Taking inspiration from folk costumes and ways of weaving.
The clothing must feel warm with earthy colors as everyday wear, it could be anyone’s.
Outdoor culture
Norwegian culture is deeply anchered in outdoor activities such as hiking. The technicity of the clothing and the material is proof of quality and trust in the gear.
The harsh environment pushed local people to create efficient outerwear.
Going back to a more simple approach to clothing making it more about simulation than emphasizing the training aspect of the product.

The goal with this proposal is to emphasize the training aspect and add a real learning purpose to the clothing making it complementary with the manikin.
Really schematic orientated sketch phase to put on paper the different concepts that emerged before going into 3D.
The software of choice for clothing was Clo3D.
It consist of drawing the different garment pattern and sewing them together in 3D simulation.
I wanted the clothing to be part of the overall concept of the manikin. Where the power cable should be inserted is clearly indicated. An interior pocket helps storing the cable once the training is finished.
The jacket should be easy to open and close to save the instructor time when training is done. The trainees will also pay less attention to the jacket opening and wasting less time.
The different colorways are indicated by a color accent on the exterior stiches. The different colors can be used to differenciate the type of manikin from each other.
