Threads of Sun
Match Studio | El Corte Inglés
Role: I was responsible for all thread setups in Houdini and contributed to the look development team. Below is a selection of my look development explorations.
A tribute to tradition and summer’s lightness. El Corte Inglés commissioned this project to showcase one of their most iconic products — the handmade espadrille heel.
Woven thread by thread from natural fiber, it blends artisanal heritage with innovative comfort. Through this 3D piece, we translate the slow rhythm of craftsmanship into digital poetry — preserving the warmth of each gesture, the texture of each fiber, and the golden simplicity of the sun.
