ART & DESIGN MEDIA STUDIES TEXTILES

My personal investigation for Textiles is called

'Nature's Origami'. With this project, I
intended to bring two contrasting ideas
together to explore the idea of nature
inspired fashion in our modern world. Closely
focusing on the detail, the influence behind
my samples were any form of nature. The
overall garment for my final piece (still in the
making), is inspired by the folds and angles
demonstrated in origami fashion.

​This particular sample was made with black

leatherette material, which is the fabric I
mainly focused on throughout my entire
project. This quilting technique resembles the
POWE
texture of sand in bulges, when looked atR E D B Y
from a bird's eye view, with the restrictive,
straight lines of an origami.

I have explored fabric

manipulation a great
deal throughout my
personal investigation.
To the left, I've
continued to work with
the black leatherette
material using the
lozenge smocking
technique, similar to the
texture of a cactus trunk.
Whilst to the right, I've
worked with the calico
material to produce this
honeycomb smocking,
which evidently
resembles a
honeycomb.

To produce this pintuck sample, I have

layered two pieces of leatherette material on
top of each other, this time including a light
beige colour underneath, to link it to my color
palette which is very neutral to compliment
my theme. The fine black detail resembles
palm leaves, and the contrasting colour
behind it is almost as if the light is softly
shining through.
