Celebrating modern freedom within clothing silhouettes for women. Taking inspiration from starling murmurations, how they collectively move together,<br />
creating, light, fluid movements. I wanted to create a feather like textile using laser cutting techniques and traditional hand embroidery . I started by hand<br />
designing a ‘feather’pattern, then using Adobe illustrator software I digitised the ‘feather’ pattern. After designing the 3way worn collar/shrug/jacket. I<br />
created the garment pattern, digitised it using Gerber software, placing the garment pattern pieces into illustrator, I then placed the ‘feather’ pattern into the<br />
garment pattern shape; manipulating it so that it fits and has a perspective/gradient scale (making it look more organic). Once this was complete I then took<br />
the file to the laser cutter and using silk fabrics with great drape, laser cut the top fabric, then hand tacked the laser cut piece onto the backing fabric, so I am<br />
then able to hand embroider (using an embroidery frame) each 'feather' before constructing the garment together. Out of the 8 pieces each piece took 9 hrs<br />
to embroider not including the process before. The long process was really worth it and am really delighted by the outcome. 3 way wedding jacket.<br />
