What do you wear to the fever dream?
Drop 2 Lookbook
For Spring/Summer 2015, we teamed up with Brain Dead on Drop 2—a lookbook captured entirely on a mobile 3D scanner. Pocket-sized depth sensing was still new in 2015; we used an Occipital Structure Sensor to record the collection in the round and push those meshes into a glitchy, psychedelic editorial.
“A psychedelic 3D rendered lookbook reminiscent of a fever dream shot solely on a 3D scanner.” — HYPEBEAST
Tripped out world
Brain Dead draws on post-punk, skate culture, and underground comics—erratic prints and internet-native graphics. We wanted the lookbook to feel native to that world: not retouched studio stills, but warped bodies and textures straight from the scan.
T-shirts and sweats from the collection carry prints from tripped-out dogs to wartime graphics; the scan pipeline let those surfaces read as tactile, almost hallucinatory objects in motion.
Photogrammetry on set
Structured light and depth mapping build a point cloud; software then reconstructs a mesh through photogrammetry. Misalignments, motion, and low-light noise became part of the aesthetic—the lookbook embraces the artifacts of early mobile 3D rather than polishing them away.
Occipital Structure Sensor
The Structure Sensor clipped to a mobile device and streamed depth maps in real time—one of the first widely available handheld 3D capture rigs. On set it was our primary capture tool: orbit the subject, scan, and work with whatever the mesh returned.
