Textures

 
 
I believe a fundamental part of Fashion design, in fact all design,
Is knowing your materials.
 
Textile development in the industry
is the most important it's ever been.
New innovate, unusual and not always practical
 textile technology development is at the top of any designer's wish list.
 
 
I think for myself like most designers take
 a really tactile approach to design.
We're won over by exciting new textures and finishes.
We're forever trying to push the boundaries
of how we can get them to perform.
Accidents do happen,
but sometimes,
 they're welcomed with open arms and a box of pins.

Since the beginning of this project, the is a significant difference in the sophistication of our technique, we hope it continues to be apparent in future collections.

Le Croquis



The new girl...
 
Having two dummies is great because it means we get one each!
Which is great when we both have to work on the stand.
 
Another new girl made an appearance this week, we were privileged to have a model  sent from the gods work with us, a Size 8- Eight foot Gem!
 
 
She is everything we could have hoped for.
There is quite a list of alterations....
But even though this new work load is primarily a set back,
she has helped us prepare for what work we would have had to do after the collection is complete.
So it's all good.
We look forward to working with her.

 
We continue on with the regular construction as well as the new Faff!
 
 
 

 
 


 

 
Nightmare pattern!
 
 
So yeah....
Peace out!
