For this project I have looked to woven structures found in animal nests and human’s buildings for inspiration. My aim was to combine and develop woven patterns and techniques into innovative structures for the body. Trial and error experimentation explored materials of different flexibility, colour, and comfort. The silhouette was led by building structures and the shape of the human form as the ribbons curved around enveloping the body. Boning provided rigidity much like the strong uprights used in the design of a building. The gradient weaving technique highlights the spaces between the garment and the body. Through this project I have developed my knowledge and expertise within abstract woven structures and identified an area of textile development that I am passionate about.
