I Am Digital: Flora Miranda - Hardcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Flora Miranda is an artist and fashion designer based in Antwerp and Vienna. After graduating with a master's degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, she freelanced for Iris Van Herpen. Since, Miranda has presented her creations during Haute Couture Week in Paris seasonally. In 2017 she founded the format ‘IT Pieces' where she and her team help enterprises to communicate and visualize their data. Flora Miranda's creations are mainly made in her atelier in Antwerp, together with third party craftsmen and expert partners. Each garment is made to measure or is sold as a fashion object through direct order, following the couture tradition. Flora Miranda's fascination with the simultaneous evolution of human behavior and new technologies has its origins in her upbringing: born in a family of musicians and artists, she learned how painters helped their eyes with the camera obscura and photography. She saw musical instruments tweaked, like the prepared piano by John Cage. Experiencing the shift in the digital world with home computers and the internet, the ‘digital' became her attitude to life.
