A combination of architecture, fashion, science and textiles is equal to the name Lynne Bruning. A awardwinning designer who lets her creativity loose in several ways. She creates exclusive wearable art by fusing her education in neurophysiology and her Masters degree in architecture.
For example the ‘Synaptic’. A piece of clothing which is based on a scanning electron micrograph of nerve endings, the synapses. The fabric is blacklight reactive and is designed and created to represent this beautiful anatomical computer.
