UPSCALE - Giant Weaves

December 11, 2017 Jill Lawrence

Hand crafted massive 3D indigo bamboo "plaid".    Reimagined as a giant print or indeed as an indigo textile weave.   Don't you just covet it however it is translated?

Just as we thought the twill couldn't get any bigger - we now see the really giant twill.  The fabric weight is around 32ozs in cotton and yet because of the loose and open construction the jean is surprisingly comfortable.   Giant twills are more commonplace in wools for outerwear but here again their use in jeanswear has become more widely available.   Not as comfortable as cotton  for such coarse wool is scratchy against the legs.  Best kept to coats and jackets we feel.

Sculptural shapes from VIA Design formed from 3D corded cottons have a life of their own as the body moves within.  Mixing cross and straight cutting creates a moving sculpture loosely called a garment.  Dramatic and exciting it has the "must have" quality associated with great design and even more so in indigo.

Really clever cutting and fabric manipulation creates art in the form of garments.  Cutting and patching stitched fabric bits of big cords creating tension and dynamism from a  sculptural top to a pleated and gathered bottom.    All one can say is it's "indigo WOW".
