BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles
Surface Textiles for Fashion Design, specialising in Knitwear. The collection is inspired by the oppression experienced by Native American Indians and looks at the issue of displacement. The technique of partial knitting is used to create unstructured shape and form. The colours have derived from aspects of globalisation such as; Casinos. This has enabled the experimentation of several colours and use of Lurex yarn, which has formed the aesthetic of the Autumn/Winter 2014 outerwear collection. Textile samples are the initial developmental process from research, which are developed onto the body. This aids in construction of a garment and it is the method I employ to develop and experiment. I work in a way where my samples take control to form structure on the body and decide carefully which techniques I believe would illustrate this best.
