Open Fit
Open Sourcing A Pair of Jeans, by Kyle McDonald and Lisa Kori
Open Fit is open source software that investigates several approaches to generating custom tailored pants patterns. Open Fit Lab is an attempt to use this software for on-the-spot generation and creation of custom clothes.
Open Fit Lab was exhibited at a pop-up event Brooklyn in 2015. We explored the rapid prototyping and sewing of custom fit jeans as performance.
Open Fit was subsequently revisited in workshops and lectures, as well as in a performance at Blackout Festival in Basel, Switzerland in 2015.
