«Ich erzähle von der Masche» Bach­elor Diploma

2013_ich_erzahle_von_der_Masche__1_cmyk

This knitting project was created as part of a bachelor diploma in the Textile Design department of Lucerne College of Art and Design. It testifies to a deep engagement with the stitch, and investigates the design possibilities of this primevally ancient handwork technique in a novel way. The design process has been concerned with the principle of unravelling and deliberately engineered disintegration. Many different materials were used, some of them quite unusual ones. The spectrum ranges from top-quality mohair yarn to wire, from wool and silk to elastane and cordel and even PET yarn. The project illustrates in exemplary style the various possibilities that exist for the deliberate use of unravelling stitches in a fashion context.

Comments of the nominators

This intensive work on the beauty of knitting and the aesthetics of unravelling stitch structures is characterised by a joy in experiment, fashionable flair and broad knowledge in the textiles laboratory, on the knitting machine and in handwork. The project moreover gives a well founded answer to the detachment of clothing from the body which has been observed in recent years.

Comments of the jury

A complex investigation of an ancient textile technique has given rise to an impressive debut project. This experimental study of the “stitch” (including its unravelling or deliberate destruction) shows an impressive depth, seriousness and radicalism. The results are seductive in visual terms and encourage the viewer to touch and feel. Even if the outfits developed on this basis are perhaps not yet quite ready for the market, they reveal a sure instinct for fashion and style.
