The Spark

Reconstruct a Pioneer XDJ-RX DJ controller as wearable garment hardware — knobs, faders and jog wheels reborn as functional trims.

In Process

Took the Pioneer XDJ-RX apart conceptually — cataloguing knobs, faders and jog wheels — as the donor object for garment hardware.

The Craft

Gemini generated the styled garment renders from the trim-engineering reference sheets.

Outcome

The move that makes it work: every DJ control becomes a real, manufacturable trim (snap-buttons, sliders, zipper pulls), not a printed picture of one.

Process — 12 frames
