3D Fashion Designer
Jon Sánchez
Hi, I’m Jon Sánchez, a 3D designer passionate about digital fashion and cyberpunk aesthetics. From the moment I discovered design, I was captivated by the idea of creating realities that transcend the physical—exploring the balance between art, fashion, and technology. My work reflects my vision: an elegant, dark, and limitless future where black isn't just a color but a statement of style and attitude.
3D design is my language, and digital fashion is my way of telling stories. I draw inspiration from futurism, neon-lit cities, and the contrast between minimalism and extravagance. When I’m not modeling or creating new pieces, I love exploring how emerging technologies reshape self-expression in both physical and digital spaces.

Interview with
3D Fashion Designer Jon Sánchez
Question.01
Why did you choose this specific topic? What makes your class different from other classes?
I chose digital fashion because it represents the future of design, offering endless creative possibilities. By focusing on cyberpunk streetwear, I aim to merge technology, storytelling, and design, pushing the boundaries of traditional fashion. My goal is to share my experience with CLO 3D or Marvelous Designer helping designers explore new forms of expression and understand how digital fashion is revolutionizing the industry. In an era where the metaverse, avatars, and digital personalization are becoming essential, this knowledge is crucial for anyone aiming to innovate in the field.
This class goes beyond just learning software tools—it’s about developing a strong artistic vision in digital fashion. While many courses focus on the technical aspects of CLO 3D or Marvelous Designer, I emphasize how to use these tools to create one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story and challenge traditional fashion norms. I integrate real-world industry trends/insights and experimental garment construction techniques that would be impossible in physical fashion. Students will not only gain technical expertise but also learn to create unique aesthetics for gaming, digital environments, and virtual identities.

Question.02
What are the essential skills and tools needed to succeed in this industry? How would you describe the current state of the job market for digital fashion?
For me, success is not about recognition and financial gain but about creating work that challenges boundaries and resonates with people.
In order to succeed, mastering tools like CLO 3D is essential for designing realistic garments and capturing intricate details. A deep understanding of fabric behavior is crucial to ensure functionality, while creating standout textures, such as metallics or holographics, helps make designs stand out. Strong rendering skills and a creative vision for storytelling are key to making designs memorable, and staying updated on trends and technology is also vital to keeping one's work innovative and relevant.
The digital fashion job market is growing rapidly, driven by the rising demand for virtual experiences, gaming, and the metaverse. Brands are actively seeking designers who can create digital garments for virtual worlds and 3D fashion showcases. This shift is opening up new career opportunities in areas beyond traditional fashion, including roles in gaming, AR/VR, and digital product design.

Question.03
Do you have any advice for your students? Are there any common misconceptions you'd like to debunk?
My advice is simple: start small, stay curious, and remain consistent. If you're new to digital fashion, focus on mastering the fundamentals of tools like CLO 3D before tackling more complex designs. For those aiming to become professionals, developing a unique style—whether futuristic, cyberpunk, or something entirely personal—is key. Build a portfolio that reflects your vision and perspective. Always stay current with industry trends and evolving tools, and don't be afraid to experiment or make mistakes along the way. Collaboration and networking are also crucial; connect with other creatives to learn and grow. Most importantly, persistence is everything. Keep creating, even when things get tough, and success will follow.
A common misconception is that digital fashion is "easier" or "less real" than traditional design. In reality, it requires just as much skill, including understanding fabric selection and garment construction. Another myth is that digital fashion is only for gaming or niche markets. In fact, it's revolutionizing sustainability and prototyping in real-world fashion as well. Lastly, some people think digital fashion lacks creativity or emotional connection. On the contrary, it offers boundless opportunities for innovation, such as glowing fabrics or gravity-defying designs, creating entirely unique experiences in virtual spaces.
