A collection of high-end womenswear jacquard and hand-woven fabrics exploring dimension through engineering and material manipulation, which was achieved via an experimental approach examining structures and yarn combinations and proportions.

Inspired by the juxtaposition between geometric interlocking structures and organic textures and surface reliefs, the collection references techniques of traditional rug-weaving and knitting. The structures and textures 

of the fabrics are exaggerated through the play of contrasting properties of leather, linen, stretch nylon and crêpe yarns to achieve 3D fabrics.
