The spiky texture of the outer cover, the fleshy and succulent fruit and the large seed at thecore, the manner of peeling the spiky skin were the various attributes explored in paper andfabric mediums in order to develop innovative concepts for fabrics and products.Various tessellating patterns were explored in laser-cutting to examine the stretch factor ofa flat surface of cloth. These laser cut forms which have been incised on a cloth respond towind movement and stretching along the diagonal grain of the fabric creating different latticeforms.

Exploring the structure of litchi through different material like paper fevicol plastic.

FABRICCONSTRUCTION

TREATMENT ON FABRICS

Understanding basic weaves like twill, tabby, weft faced, pointed twill, bed ford, cut pile Etc. Taking inspiration from the characteristics of green coconut.

WEAVING

Creating fabric structures like imitation inlay, backed fabric, special warp and special weft, terry, leno, extra weft, extra warp, quilting etc, for home furnishing. Taking reference from the roof top tiles and studying its visual as well as structural construction.

WOVEN SAMPLES

As a client project, set of designs were made inspired from Indian textiles for Chevrolet brand seat cover. The designs were based on the craft practice of Kutch ”Suzani weaving” and the designs on the other page are based on the characteristics of chickankari embroidery of Lucknow.

EXPLORATIONS

Chikankari as another reference for the exploration of artworks for seat covers.

The flow and fluidity of this spring summer season is the focus of this collection. Gather-ing energy to be enthusiastic in this chilling summers from the form(shape and bends) of NERIUM OLEANDER flowers is the key motto. Musdard flowers being the symbol of winters is the theme of this collection to move your mind from this chilling sum-mers and think of the lovely and cool winters which refreshen our minds. The zing yellow colour(mustard colour) have few pigments of green which will give you the energy and hope to work enthusiastically even in this hot yellow summers.

Inspired from winter autumn collection of brand ETRO, made a collection of home furnishing taking colour story from trend forecast of autumn 2013 ‘endlessness’. Taking form inspiration from TREE OF LIFE, the prints and its coordinates are made keeping ETRO’s aesthetics.

COORDINATES AND SURFACE

BALANCE, FREE THINKING, UNIQUE SHAPE AND ELEGANT are the words which attribute to the golden pheasant as well of my garment. My designs are inclined towards the texture of bird wings (pin tuck pleating) and geometric forms which lead to creative eccentric and passionate look of the garment. The attributes of volume and form of paper garment and then transferred to fabric in form of a diagonal pin tuck line. Chic, noble, graceful is a very essential part of my design as well as beautiful and comfortable feel.

INTRODUCTION TO

APPAREL

FINAL GARMENT

PAPER EXPLORATIONS

Using natural and synthetic dyes to generate gradation of complimentary colours. techniques like tie dye bandhini, clamp dye, shibori, resist tie dye using natural dyes and synthetic dyes were explored in course in form of products like stoles and table covers.

DYEING

PAPER EXPLORATIONS

Understanding the georgette fabric, I have tried pleats which are filled with different coloured satin ribbons. The fabric is flexible between the two ends of ribbon, thus the amount of light in the lampshade can be adjusted by moving the fabric up and down.

SEWING TECHNIQUES

This was the product which was designed for the NID merchandise store during convocation. It’s a pencil wrap which could hold pens of any width because of the material used in it.

Pencil holders made of elasticButton used for the locking system as the circumference of wrap can be variable according to the stuff filled inside.

Variations in colour and design.

PENCIL WRAP‘CWRAP’

Exploring the variations in textures possible using minimal tools was the basic concept. Creating textures with clay which is commonly available everywhere. Playing with textures is the basic need for designer. And learning how to create it with materials is the basic requirement for the designer. Tried to learn how different materials respond differently and what it can serve to us in terms of different textures.
