Nonwoven project - garment technology

Starting our journey we recieved a catwalk image from John Rocha’s Spring/summer 2010 collection, which would act as our source of inspiration for designing our garments. The aim of the project was to create two garments distinctly representing elements of decoratif and nonwovens in order to develop our research and contextual skills.
We were required to produce one to two outfits out of a selection of nonwovens. As a team, consisting of Amy Whitfield, Paige Wilkins and Sarah Yacabe, we established a unique and diverse approach in using nonwovens to design and develop our garments.
Our research undertook several pathways into decoratif and the use of nonwovens, including innovative techniques, some of which include laser cutting, sonic bonding and burning. We informed our work by looking into various designers and artists and by creating several samples using a variety of unique textile materials and tools...

This was our inspiration:
