Future Textiles
Hussein Chalayan S/S 2007 – Animatronic dresses |
Jeg har på nuværende tidspunkt valgfaget “Fremtids tekstiler” i skolen.
Ovenover ses billeder fra den tyrkiske designer Hussein Chalayan’s S/S 2007 catwalkChalayan’Se hans S/S 2007 catwalken her. animatronic dresses”.
Chalayan benytter sig i sin S/S 2007 kollektion af micro-chip teknologi, som var begyndelsen på en teknologisk revolution indenfor mode sektoren.
Der er siden Chalayan’s S/S 2007 catwalk sket en kæmpe udvikling indenfor benyttelse af teknologi i mode verdenen.
Manel Torres 2010 – Spray-on Fabric |
Netop nu sidder jeg og skriver et oplæg om Spray-On Fabric, som sås på catwalken for første gang i 2010 ved den spanske designer Manel Torres, i samarbejde med Imperial College London.
Spray-on Fabric er, som navnet hentyder til, tekstiler som sprayes på kroppen og stivner ved kontakt med huden. Tekstilet kan herefter bæres, vaskes og bruges igen ligesom andet tekstil. Forskellen fra kendte tekstiler er at dette Spray-on tekstil er sømløst, og at det kan re-designes ved at spraye nye detaljer på tøjet.
Således kan forbrugeren selv designe og re-designe sit tøj.
Hvis denne ekstreme udvikling af teknologiens benyttelse i mode verdenen fortsætter, hvor befinder tekstilindustrien sig så ikke i fx. år 2030?
I currently have a elective at school called “Future Textiles”.
Above are pictures from the Turkish designer Hussein Chalayans S/S 2007 catwalk, which stunned the fashion world. Chalayans dresses are later becomed known as the “animatronic dresses”.
In the S/S 2007 collection Chalayans used micro-chip technology, which was the beginning of a technological revolution in the fashion world.
Since Chalayans S/S 2007 catwalk there has been a huge development in the use of technology in the fashion world.
Right now I write a paper on Spray-On Fabric, which was seen at the catwalk for the first time in 2010 by the Spanish designer Manel Torres in collaboration with Imperial College London.
Spray-on Fabric, as the name alludes to, are textile sprayed on the model and then the textile solidifies when it come in contact with the skin. The fabric can be worn, washed and used again like other textiles. The difference from well known textiles is that the spray-on fabric is seamless and it can be re-designed by spraying new details on the clothes.
Thus, the consumer can design and re-design her/his own clothes.
If this extreme development of technology used in the fashion world continues, in which case will the textile industry then be in e.g. the year 2030?
