Modoll\u00a0is a multidisciplinary project based on a 3D printed doll of the American model. It is a stunning crossover : the craftsmanship of the hair and make up as well as the\u00a0fashion she wears collides with the sophisticated technology involved in making the 3D doll. Unlike other doll projects, Modoll has a science fiction element to it that makes it incomparable.<\/p>\n<p><em>The methods used for developing this project, as well as Wixson&#8217;s involvement throughout the process, allowed to create an innovative doll that captures her unique features and reflects her personality, charisma and beauty.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MODOLL is the result of several months of study and experimentation with the latest 3D scanning and printing techniques, making it the first fashion doll of its kind.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Modoll - The Science of Beauty\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HSv3x7ATPmM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>THE PROJECT<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watch below the creators Santiago and Mauricio Sierra explain their Modoll project.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Modoll - The Project\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IOpN3zc8N3c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I have the opportunity to ask a few questions to the team behind the Modoll Project. Here are their great answers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fashionsphinx.com:<\/strong>\u00a0 As a photographer and video maker team \u00a0used to working with the most beautiful girls in the world, why did you feel the need to go beyond the film capture of Lindsey ?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santiago &amp; Mauricio<\/strong>: We had been wanting to do something with 3D printing for some time, technology fascinates us, it&#8217;s amazing to be able to use all different kinds of tools to achieve any kind of creative result. It&#8217;s really not about technique at all. There has been other projects related to 3D printing and fashion but we felt none of them had any real use, as sometimes sculptures tend to only exist.<\/p>\n<p>This is a real doll, you can use it, dress it, comb her hair, or even photograph it or animate it&#8230; you give it life of its own. We think it&#8217;s cool to create something useful and not just another printed magazine editorial that eventually fades from people&#8217;s minds after some time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>THE FACE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>MODOLL&#8217;s face has been achieved through a process of 3D scans that have created digital replicas of Lindsey Wixson&#8217;s face and capturing her unique personality. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lindsay has a unique face.

You look like a doll,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cThey will reference a kind of doll, and, depending on which country I\u2019m in, I often don\u2019t know the one they are talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Modoll - The Face\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mJcV83GL4_M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3D SCANNING<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Lindsey&#8217;s face structure and unique physical attributes have been transferred directly to the design of the doll by using cutting edge 3D scanning technology.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Modoll - 3D Scanning\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5NIt0PdPZtM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3D PRINTING<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>MODOLL prototypes have been created by using the most advanced 3D printing techniques available.

Crossover between disciplines can get a bit complicated at times as sometimes as an artist you can get caught up in the why am I doing this, where do I belong, questions.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is that in reality we are living an incredibly interesting time, the internet came to change all the paradigms, so did personal computers entering an era of \u201cdo it yourself&#8221; so it&#8217;s a perfect time for experimentation, to create interesting collaborations and to cross over.

The lines are getting blurred and we believe it&#8217;s really about image making, 2D, 3D or even 4D, it&#8217;s all the same.<\/p>\n<p>We are very into hyperrealism, it&#8217;s about immersing yourself into an experience or the inverse: bringing the image into the &#8220;real world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>FASHION<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Renowned fashion stylist Charlotte Stockdale handpicked some of her favorite looks of the season.
