PRINCIPLE

 

PRODUCTION

STARSICA MODULAR develops each product under the concept that clothing is a device.

 

Our production process follows three steps:

 

1. Design devices with a defined purpose and function.

2. Research how each device integrates into individual garments.

3. Produce a prototype after completing the final functional test.

 

TECHNICAL FRAMEWORK

To realize the device-based nature of clothing, STARSICA MODULAR applies a structured system called Modular Engineering, organized into three modules that turn garments into functional devices:

 

Exterior Device Module (EDM)
Applying external mechanical units to a base garment to generate angular structures and functional extensions.

 

Structure Generated Module (SGM)
Engineering the garment’s own pattern and structural geometry so that the garment itself operates as a device.

 

Integrated Device Module (IDM)
Combining EDM and SGM into garments that function as fully integrated devices, forming the foundation of advanced modular engineering.

 

APPLICATION METHOD

Device Transplant is one of our primary methods of applying EDM (Exterior Device Module), where a device is integrated into a base garment. To support this method, we developed an independent hinge technology that allows prismatic column structures and angular forms to be built into clothing while maintaining a lightweight and comfortable fit.

Over time, STARSICA MODULAR aims to expand this approach into a broader suite of independent products by advancing our production methods and technologies.

 

DEVICE MODULE

Through three years of experimentation, STARSICA MODULAR has established a distinctive product line featuring the Angular, Prism, and Horn series.


These series will continue to evolve each season through renewed variations and structural developments.


Looking ahead, additional device modules such as Extended, Bumper, Folded, and Junction will also be introduced in future releases, expanding the modular system over time.

Type 1 →  Angular Series 

Type 2 →  Prism Series 

Type 3 →  Horn Series 

 

MODULAR CODE SYSTEM


STARSICA MODULAR uses an internal technical code system to document the structural composition of each garment. These codes describe the frame, shape, joints, and fabrication methods that transform garments into engineered devices.

 

The system is organized into four tiers:

 

α — Modular Frame (EDM / SGM / IDM)
Defines the structural category and the foundational device logic.

 

β — Static Structure (SC, AN, TR, OC)
Indicates geometric shapes and load-bearing structures.

 

γ — Dynamic Joint (HJ, FJ, DJ, AJ)
Represents movement-responsive joints integrated into the garment.

 

δ — Fabrication & Suture (EB, SI, SC)
Specifies construction techniques used to complete each device.

 

A product code such as EDM–HE–PR–HJ–SI shows how these tiers combine to form the device’s structural identity and appears both on schematization diagrams and on the care label for traceability.
