New Project on technology


Again a technology project !!
yes but this time we could negotiate the brief with our tutor.
the prerequistes were we should propose a project which enables us to experiment and take risk .

After my not so good experience with my last group project ..This time again to my surprise i thought of working in a group project with Tanvi &Nibha guess i wanted to prove a point that i have the ability to take risk ,show my skills as a group member& come up with better results this time.

So we had brainstormed on a quite a few things
related to technology in fashion and came with some interesting results ;after which v narrowed down to Materials and basically focussing on ways of joining fabrics without stitching.
We started doing the research through various books on materials,Techno Fashion etc which has really helped me broaden my horizon of knowledge.
I also tried to contact various companies dealing in different technologies we had studied in our research like Laser fusing and welding but we had the limitation regarding resources and time .

To help gather more information we even went to Central St Martins material library where we did manage to get some information.Interestingly there was an exhibition of BA Textiles work where they had used different yarns&weaves to get innovative fabric even digital prints which was a delight to watch.I had never looked at textiles so deeply thinking im a Fashion designer but this was great experience altogether &might be useful when i would be doing my final project in the end.
