Inflatable fashion pieces for designer juju_manju
In 2023, Digital Inflatables made the inflatable part of designer juju_manju’s fashion collection for Central Saint Martins, the London art school: a pointed inflatable helmet and large translucent tubes that curl around the silhouette. These light volumes are worn with the outfits of her first fashion show.

Request a quoteHow is a custom inflatable costume piece made for a fashion show?
The piece is cut and assembled from a pattern fitted to the body and the outfit, in a light fabric, then inflated and sealed, or linked to a small blower, depending on the effect wanted.
On a runway, the piece must stay light, let the wearer move and hold its shape for the whole walk.
To prepare a request of this kind, the guide to choosing an inflatable structure manufacturer lists the points to check.
Why use inflatables in a fashion collection?
Inflatables create large volumes at very low weight, and their translucent or coloured materials catch the runway lights.
An inflatable helmet or tubes change the silhouette without weighing down the outfit, which leaves the designer free to play with shape.
