Research
Researching how gabardine wool behaves on the body in the traditional sense and how it can be transformed into a performance material that creates motion and moves along with the wearer, providing optimal comfort when worn.
CONCEPT
With a singular material in focus - headstock gabardine wool, the project explores techniques of making wool more dynamic and elastic for performance. The objective of the collection was to design with a singular fabric -
sourced from deadstock vintage gabardine wool fabric from the Royal College of Art material archive. No trimmings were used, making the collection fully biodegradable.
