Fashion meets culture, technology, and artistry in the stunning creation of the "Jewel Rain Vortex" costume, designed by Hai Yen, one of Browzwear’s talented 3D specialists in Singapore.
This extraordinary gown, inspired by the iconic waterfall at Changi Airport, was brought to life both digitally and physically and worn by Jade Jiahui Wu, Miss Cosmo Singapore 2024, during the "National Costume" competition at Miss Cosmo 2024 sponsored by National Director Adeline Hokulani and her company AO Ventures Pte Ltd.
The Jewel Rain Vortex draws on the natural wonder of Singapore’s Jewel Terminal waterfall, symbolizing the harmonious blend of nature and modernity that defines Singapore. Sparkling crystal raindrops and geometric patterns evoke a starry galaxy while celebrating the nation’s iconic rainy weather. Reflective materials further symbolize Singapore’s towering skyscrapers and technological prowess, creating a gown that bridges tradition and innovation.
Paired with a long, elegant silhouette and a classic hat, the gown celebrates the evolving role of women in Singaporean society. Reflective vinyl pieces embedded in the design serve as a poignant metaphor for breaking the glass ceiling, representing the strength and ambition of modern Singaporean women. The gown’s design embodies both beauty and empowerment, honoring women who challenge norms and achieve success.
The "Jewel Rain Vortex" costume is not just a visual marvel; it is a testament to the power of technology in fashion design. Using VStitcher, Browzwear’s cutting-edge 3D design software, Hai Yen created the gown with precision and efficiency. From concept to production, the entire process was done digitally, requiring only a small fabric sample and one set of measurements.
Using the Fabric Analyzer, Hai Yen digitalized and applied the physical fabric sample to her virtual garment. This approach not only minimized waste but also shortened production time, showcasing the potential of technology to revolutionize sustainable fashion.
When Jade Jiahui Wu graced the stage of Miss Cosmo 2024 in the Jewel Rain Vortex, she became more than a beauty queen and a cultural ambassador. Her performance celebrated Singaporean women's strength, intelligence, and elegance, inspiring audiences and instilling pride in the younger generation.
This gown is more than just a garment—it’s a story of connection between past, present, and future. It reflects Singapore’s journey as a leader in innovation while honoring its cultural roots, leaving a lasting impression on the global stage.
