Gen Art

Degen

The first fashion that drew me in was Jhane Barnes.  Her last menswear line was released in 2013, but check this out.

For the /gen-art fashion crowd, the fabric used in her designs was generative art by way of loom instructions!

For the /degen fashion crowd, her Rhedux line was numbered limited editions of each item!

[She] sends the concept to Bill Jones and Dana Cartwright, the two mathematicians on her staff. Jhane gives Bill and Dana a clear idea of her artistic vision and they translate her idea into mathematical algorithms

Jhane knows that chance plays a role in any creative process, and welcomes it into her designs. "Sometimes you click the mouse and have no idea what's going to happen next," she says of some of the more experimental programs she uses.

Like artwork comprised of layer upon layer of paint, Jhane's patterns are built over time using complex software programs and Jhane's highly attuned impulses. Jhane seamlessly works between twenty different programs, taking inspiration from unique program tools that enhance or alter her original idea.
