A selection of print designs from 3D standwork.



Using CAD to create shapes, and the laser cutter machine for a rapid, accurate finish on the Leather.
These shapes are then slotted together and then hand sewn together.




Digital draping

by Yasmin Siddiqui

Digital Draping is a new way of designing silhouettes as well as creative pattern cutting, that I acquired during my MA.
By projecting inspirational imagery onto the body and marking the lines out, you create new seam lines.
I found Digital Draping very useful not only for designing but also for print placements on the body.



Experimentation

Exploring new techniques to create structured silhouettes. By making a mould and draping buckram over it applying the paste to keep it's shape.

Artisan

by Yasmin Siddiqui

This project is a hybrid of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technique, shape and material.
Using the traditional hand woven basket techniques of Camacha in Madeira, transferring these skills creating new dynamic silhouettes.
