[ A WOMAN, FREE AT NIGHT ]

[ 2024 ]

"A Woman, Free at Night" is a wearable sculpture that reimagines the ballet tutu as protective armor—a 55-inch diameter dress constructed entirely from steel razor wire (meticulously dulled for safety) and aluminum. Inspired by the constant threat of harassment women face at night, this piece allows the wearer to move elegantly while remaining untouchable, with industrial-grade spikes strategically placed where men typically grab women's bodies. The sculpture's silhouette mirrors the human heart's electromagnetic field, and its engineering is as thoughtful as its concept: it must be lowered onto the wearer like in a crane-like manner, uses a three-latch security mechanism that releases dangerous tension if forcibly removed, and intentionally prevents sitting—because there's no rest when walking alone at night. Assembled without toxic materials using only rivets and physics, this piece forces viewers to confront the extreme measures women might need to take to reclaim their freedom of movement after dark.

[ EMRGNTS LINE SHEET ]

[ 2024 ]

"Emergentes" creates custom garments that literally evolve with your body and behavior through a revolutionary process: after 3D body scanning and a week of movement/heat sensor data, generative design translates your unique patterns into voronoi cells that vary in flexibility, breathability, and durability based on each body area's specific needs. The 3D-printed TPU garments feature modular, self-repairing joints and a patented biodegradable lining that's simultaneously waterproof and breathable. Most remarkably, the system learns from wear patterns—when you report damage, your digital model regenerates stronger in those areas for future orders, and once enough similar cases are logged, the AI anonymously shares these adaptations with users who have comparable body types and lifestyles, creating garments that grow smarter and more resilient as both you and the collective user base age and change.

[ EMRGNTS MOODBOARD ]

[ 2024 ]

The moodboard that beautifully visualizes the biomimetic foundation of Emergentes, drawing direct inspiration from nature's own emergent patterns. The imagery spans from butterfly wings and cellular structures—showcasing nature's perfected voronoi patterns—to futuristic architecture that mimics organic growth, and finally to the technological realization through 3D-printed geometric modules. The juxtaposition of microscopic natural formations with precision-engineered lattice structures illustrates how the line translates biological efficiency into wearable technology. The earthy yet modern color palette of deep greens, warm oranges, and stark contrasts reflects the brand's philosophy of merging organic adaptation with cutting-edge manufacturing, perfectly embodying the concept of apparel that evolves as intelligently as the natural systems that inspired it.

[ BART COLLABORATION CLOTHING TAGS ]

[ 2025 ]

An early result of the my ongoing BART collaboration, which was the true prize for winning the runway competition they held. Here, I have coded ASCII art into the shape of the BART logo, and provided two different variants for their marketing team.

My brand logo for my personal clothing label, which I designed myself. It is derived from my natural facial geometry, and all 18 characters needed to spell my full name are hidden within it.

[ BART RUNWAY LOOK ]

[ 2024 ]

This is the the look that won me first place in the BART runway competition. It was a team effort: I suggested the silhouette for the hat, modified the shoes with metal-coated BART cards, and constructed the chestplate from a discarded car bumper and metal covered BART cards— each painstakingly coated and folded to achieve the scale-like look seen present here.

About

About

Who Sebastián Vogelmann is & how Vogelmann came to be.

“Vogelmann's work is informed by bearing witness to how the world treated his hard-working single mother who raised him and his sister by herself, a childhood largely spent in nature, a lifelong fascination with science (also bionicles), and early exposure to the ignorance of humanity as a gender non-conforming child. I’m taken with possibilities in the intersection between fashion, technology, and biomimetics. The practical application of the aforementioned fields to fashion design is an emerging field, and I am particularly interested in expanding the horizons of “DefenseWear” for women: fostering the proliferation of women’s self-defense items through fashion. I am more interested in what fashion could be, opposed to fashion as it stands today. I see the future of fashion as a living, evolving, closed-loop system in symbiosis with the human body rather than a static product—one that reacts to movement, light, and the surrounding environment. I firmly believe that progress in the future fashion sustainability will come from the realm of technology, rather than the field of fashion itself.”
