Creating texture: shaping wax in water

There are two ways to shape wax with water which are stirring while pouring, and stretching by lifting solidified wax in water. Water created a natural, organic texture on the wax.

Creating texture: Shaping wax and fabric in water

We combined all the previous experiments and did a new experiment of shaping both wax and fabric in water. Waxes not only held deformable fabrics in shape but also created texture on their surface.

Creating form: Exploring the potential of fabric by using fashion design techniques

Preliminary material experiments helped us select the best fabric for further development. The next step to do is to conduct research experiments on this specific fabric. It started with some research common techniques in fashion design and taking them as our design vocabulary, and then organizing them into some more complex forms as our design language.
