Manipulating Materials







SNAKE SKIN
KNITWEAR

Creating 3D textile by merging processes that would be unachieveable with just the traditional approach.



INSPIRATION: Reiko Sudo
Experimenting with polyester led me to origami textile. The fabric is heat pressed between two sheets of origami. The strech of polyester restricated shapes to be angular.


Combining this with monofilament knitting gave freedom to new structures, inconceivable through knitting alone.
