The invited speaker described how mathematics is used in the making of dresses, stating Coco Chanel’s quote: “Fashion is like architecture, it is a matter of proportions.” Cristina Sardon then explained how mathematics is used in the runway and highlighted the clothing prints based on tessellations and on fractals. The speaker also shared many images of designers with examples of the use of mathematics in fashion. You can find the complete article in Spanish that Cristina Sardon wrote on this topic here.
