Naomi Wu is. +I merely wrote the code to implement this as a FreeSewing design, and worked +with Naomi to ensure that said code represents her vision for the design. + +I've collaborated with others before to bring a design to fruition, but that +was typically with friends or people from the FreeSewing community, and my role +in that collaboration was always much bigger. This was my first time +working with a bona-fide celebrity, in addition to being someone I find hugely +inspiring and have a ton of respect for. If I'm being honest, I was really +nervous about this. + +The process was also different from other collaborations which typically start +with an idea that we then try to implement together. Here, everything was +already done. Naomi already had the skirt and done all the work. The reason I +came on board is because she wanted to offer it in a size-inclusive range. In +other words, it was my job to make her design parametric. + +So one day in the spring of 2023, a package arrived on my doorstep all the way +from China. Inside it was Naomi Wu's very own cargo skirt. A veritable +smorgasbord of storage options in which even the pockets have pockets. + +It was a lot more elaborate than I anticipated, but somehow also very practical. +It dawned on me as I was working on this that I should make one of these for +myself because I always misplace tools when I'm working on something. This is +like a tool chest that you can wear. Only better organized. + +At Naomi's explicit request, I made the fronts reversible so they can me more +female or male presenting as you see fit (with the zipper being on this or that +side having certain significance towards gender-expression), and I added an +option to slope the waistband which will benefit more curvy people. + +In the end, you get what it says on the tin: Naomi Wu's cargo skirt. Or at +least the close as you can get to the original item that landed on my doorstep +that fateful day. + +I want to thank Naomi Wu for trusting FreeSewing -- and myself -- with her plans +to offer her skirt design as open source. I think it's a big deal for FreeSewing +to get this kind of recognition, and I know it was a big deal for me personally. + +joost + + + +##### Naomi Who? + +[Naomi Wu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Wu), also known by her online pseudonym _SexyCyborg_ is a Chinese tech & DIY girl from Shenzhen, China. +She is known for her signature style blending DIY, electronics, and fashion, and has proven to be a +relentless advocate for women in STEM and LGBTQ rights. + +Despite all prejudice and setbacks due to her gender expression, she managed to grow a large online audience, become a minor celebrity in the 3D-printers community, and at one point single-handedly compelled Chinese companies to take GPL-violations serious. As further testament to her status as a famous maker, she graced the cover of Make magazine in 2018. + +As an outspoken Chinese citizen with a tendency for telling it like it is, and a large international following, Noami drew the heat, and in the summer of 2023 the Chinese government de-facto silenced her. Ever since, her [Twitter](https://twitter.com/realsexycyborg) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reallysexycyborg/) accounts, and YouTube channel have fallen silent.
