Work

Raviv's 2014 Hard Copy collection, was based on computer glitches and focused on the value of original objects in our current age. The project was included in the "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In a 2014 article published in Motherboard magazine, Raviv was quoted as saying "The garments, even though there are a lot of things that are digital inside them, at the end they are made through very traditional means."
In the initial design process, Raviv encountered errors within some of her CAD models. In 2015, she used these glitches to produce and installation version of the project for OOPs, an exhibition at Hansen House-Jerusalem.
Hard Copy was her graduate collection at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.
In her following collection, in Fall 2017, Raviv included items beyond digitally created works, including those garments which Emily Farra, writing in Vogue, described as "painstakingly hand-stitched."
