Very cool paper! Seems to me like legos for clothing.
Luckily for me, I have no "fashion". The extent of what I do have is limited to the latest cool graphic T-Shirt I can find. My wife says I have too many, but I disagree.
What a neat idea! I see this as a sort of... clothing gridfinity. [0] Basically a few interfaces to implement and anything unspec'd is fair game to be creative with for your own use/small scale production, and everything still mostly clicks. It's neat to imagine a "more serious" version of this, where we have an "ikea for fashion" or something, but that might be difficult; the patchy-look is going to limit things to a particular style and it won't have mass-appeal, but that can also be a positive! Ex:

> P6 was particularly excited about using the system’s constraints to explore visual patterns such as patchwork and cutout.

Would be cool if people could jump into making their own clothes with out requiring the up front expensive of needles/thread/sewing machine. Just buy the material you need and go!
