Diana Cuervo Performance Apparel Design — Carbon Hooded Shell — 2026 · Outerwear design study

Concept development brief: the following construction, simulation and performance goals are proposed—not records of completed Optitex testing or certified garment performance.

01 / DEVELOPMENT

Pattern Engineering

Complex paneling and hood construction engineered in Optitex PDS.

02 / DEVELOPMENT

3D Simulation in Optitex

Full 3D motion simulation for running and layering.

03 / DEVELOPMENT

Materials & Physics

Soft-shell carbon-finish fabric with water-resistant treatment.

04 / DEVELOPMENT

Fit Validation

Review hood mobility, layering clearance and shoulder tension in 3D; verify weather protection through material and wear testing.

05 / DEVELOPMENT

Outcome

Target outcome: ready for outdoor performance after physical validation.

TECHNOLOGY / OPTITEX

PDS 3D

Visualize and validate 2D patterns in a real-time 3D environment. Test garment fit, detect construction issues early, and reduce reliance on physical samples.
