interlaced narratives
The process began with an in-depth study of a designer’s collection to understand its structural approach, surface development, and overall design language. Elements such as rhythm, repetition, layering, and material expression were analyzed and translated into woven samples. Rather than replicating the designs, the intention was to interpret the essence of the collection through weave structures, scale, density, and interlacement.
Interlaced Narratives explores weaving as a medium of storytelling through structure, rhythm, and material interaction. The study focuses on understanding different weaving techniques and the behavior of various yarns, examining how interlacement and tension influence surface, texture, and flexibility. By experimenting with scale, density, and material combinations, this exploration highlights weaving not only as a construction process, but as an expressive language through which emotion, movement, and material character are woven into form.
To add visual and emotional depth, color inspiration was drawn from a renowned painting that reflected the mood and design language of the selected collection. The painting was examined for its palette, tonal relationships, and expressive qualities, which were then incorporated into the samples through yarn selection, color placement, and weaving techniques. By combining structural insights from fashion with artistic color narratives, multiple woven samples were developed, allowing an exploration of how structure, color, and material sensibility interact to create textured, expressive textile surfaces.
