Meet the TikTok designer that created a purple feather dress that inhales and exhales.
. These are just a few of the creations that 28-year-old Cameron Hughes has made recently. The New York-based designer specializes in high-tech dresses that move with you and have a life of their own. He made them as a hobby before the pandemic, but started to gain a following when he began to post on TikTok in 2020. Now, he has gained almost half a million followers on the app for his technically-driven, one-of-a-kind designs.
Hughes, who has a BFA from Syracuse University, uses his experience in sculpture and engineering to design. “I took some engineering classes while [at Syracuse], but learned almost everything from YouTube and maker blogs,” Hughes says. “I actually did some kinetic and interactive sculpture [in school]—I’m just sculpting with fabric now.”of making, say, a motorized, spinning skirt.
I film everything I do as I am making a design, sometimes setting up complex shots, time lapses and using a robotic slider or jib. It's really important to me that my videos have a high production value, and that you can really see what I am doing and just how much work goes into making something. I get my ideas from watching way too many TikToks seeing how other creators make engaging content. Also, how it’s made and other process videos on YouTube.
I’m not sure I have a defined style... yet. I just keep making things when ideas come to me. I love to look at new technology and other maker’s projects to see what types of components are available. I look at these things and think what can I make with these. I also love to look at archival runway shows and current trends to see what is exciting to people in fashion.Yes, my ability to make these designs is rooted in skills I learned while working as an industrial designer and engineer.
Lady Gaga and anything for the Met Gala. I know it will happen, it’s just a matter of alignment for a project that would warrant my work. There’s just so many comments saying these two things, and I just want to be able to be like, ‘Here we go, we did it—we dressed Gaga,’ or, ‘We went to the Met Gala.’ If anyones that’s going to the Met is reading this, do you need a look for the first Monday in May?The color changing dress’s process videos.
