Material: cotton, nylon and polyester jacquard with cotton sweat panels.
Notes: bias cut jacquard is applied to the stretchy cotton and knit patchwork panels. It is stitched with a 4 thread coverstitch to help the garment maintain a stretch along the seam and not skew. The jacquard has a thick nylon yarn running through it giving it a 3d pin pointed affect.

Season: Liam Hodges ss16 Blackburn’s Children June 2015
Material: polyester jacquard and cotton combat trousers
Notes: the jacquard was created using all hand drawn techniques in a collection looking at analogue vs. digital. The jacquard uses a cut float technique; the floating weft is then cut off to reveal a semi sheer grey fabric underneath. The graphics in this fabric feature a message coded into binary 0’s and 1’s with lurex hand drawn graphics over the top and a digital soundwave.
