Mix it up - 3D weave and plastic embellishment

Texture:
I want people to look at my final collection and question what are they looking at. I have decided to use a mix of materials to create unique textural and experimental pieces. It might look unusual, some may even think it's too much. But if there is ever a time to take risks and experiment the time is now. I think it will successfully create new surface/body boundaries, building layers, extensions of the body and skin with plastics and woven loops.


My favourite designers mixing plastics, liquid gels, embellishment, woven fabric and fur:


Who else could mix crochet, leather, sequins and plastic except Christopher Kane?

Dries Van Noten

Bottega Veneta

Prada

some of my own work using perspex embellishment, digital print and 3-dimensional woven structures:








colour:
refine colour palette. I have so many textures going on which I love. But at the moment things are looking a bit too much, i want it to remain interesting in texture combinations but refining/darkening the colours and developing combinations will hopefully make the collection look more sophisticated..
