Super Sport Bra — Cone & Coin

Discipline: 3D Modeling · Optitex · Material Simulation

Translate the fearless architectural language of Madonna’s iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra into an original performance-apparel concept: support, structure, movement and power.

Diana Cuervo Performance Apparel Design — Super Sport Bra — Cone & Coin 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

Develop radial cup panels, a stable underband and broad straps in Optitex PDS. Explore conical volume through seam geometry, balancing sculptural shape with body clearance.

02 / DEVELOPMENT

3D Simulation in Optitex

Use PDS 3D to explore cup volume, strap position and mesh-zone placement across avatar sizes and movement poses before sampling.

03 / DEVELOPMENT

Materials & Physics

Proposed high-recovery compression knit, soft-touch lining and breathable mesh with lightweight champagne-gold coin-inspired hardware secured away from pressure points.

04 / DEVELOPMENT

Fit Validation

Review support-zone tension, cup clearance, strap pressure and underband stability. Physical comfort, impact-support and hardware-safety testing remain essential.

05 / DEVELOPMENT

Outcome

Ready-to-court development goal: an original Cone & Coin silhouette that balances sculptural presence with support and mobility. Move toward production only after fit, impact-support, wash durability and hardware-safety reviews.

01 / ENGINEERING NOTES

Pattern Engineering · Cone Construction

  • Establish cup projection, apex placement and radial seam geometry from the intended size and support brief.
  • Separate structural cup panels, compression wings, lining, underband and strap pieces in PDS 2D; document grain, notches and stretch direction.
  • Build a graded support system rather than scaling conical volume uniformly across sizes.

02 / ENGINEERING NOTES

3D Simulation · Movement Review

  • Assign measured stretch, bending and recovery values to each material zone before evaluating the silhouette.
  • Compare overhead reach, rotation and court-ready poses; inspect cup clearance, mesh deformation and strap travel.
  • Use tension and stretch maps to identify pressure concentrations; retain review notes for the first physical sample.

03 / ENGINEERING NOTES

Materials & Physics · Coin Details

  • Explore high-recovery compression knit with soft-touch lining and breathable mesh; confirm skin comfort and laundering behavior.
  • Use lightweight, smooth-edged coin-inspired hardware at reinforced anchor points away from direct pressure zones.
  • Evaluate attachment pull strength, corrosion, snagging and wash durability before approving metallic details.

04 / ENGINEERING NOTES

Fit Validation · Support Checkpoints

  • Review underband anchoring, strap pressure and support-zone tension across the intended avatar size range.
  • Check chafing, bounce control and freedom of movement with physical prototypes; a digital tension map is not an impact-support rating.
  • Record changes by size and activity level, then rerun the digital review against updated patterns.

05 / ENGINEERING NOTES

Technical Design Pack · Sampling Handoff

  • Deliver front/back flats, panel and seam map, graded pattern files, bill of materials and measurement tolerances.
  • Specify coin attachment locations, reinforcement construction, mesh boundaries and hardware-care instructions.
  • Organize approved color/material options and review feedback through OPTINEDCloud; hand off a physical-sample test brief before production.
