Locating- Self initiated brief

The Edge


The raw edge of any material is something that is overlooked, as the first thought when creating a textile/fashion piece is “how could I finish this edge?” Ask yourself what if the raw edge was already finished. This brief is an exploration of this.
The aim is to select a small range of materials with contrasting edges and experiment with them. Explore the structure of the chosen materials, think about manipulating the materials and seeing how the contrasting fabrics act when manipulated. Think about clean edges, cutting, tearing, and flexibility. Explore different weights and types of materials (natural, man-made).

The aims:
-          To create a finished piece or set of resolved samples

-          Show an understanding and exploration of material qualities
