A crystal-covered padded grid was developed as the primary surface construction for a series of garments.
The development process included full-scale pattern placement, paper doll assemblies, fittings and runway prototypes.

Structural details observed on aircraft surfaces were adapted into a textile system combining metallic leather, embroidery and inserted elements.
The development generated a series of garments produced for the collection.

Unfinished renderings produced during garment development.
Multiple construction and embroidery options are shown simultaneously as part of the evaluation process prior to sampling. by @strassmuseum

Digital garment sketches developed through the collage of embroidery samples, material developments and collection research.
A working method used in place of traditional hand rendering. by @strassmuseum

Design renderings produced by assembling fragments collected throughout the development of the collection.
Materials, samples and references are recombined directly in Photoshop to test new directions and garment proposals.

Prototype developed through the application of laser-cut mirrored film onto fluorescent fabric.
The resulting surface combines reflection, colour and structure into a single system, where the visual effect is produced by construction rather than print or embellishment.

Early sketch for a textile sample inspired by aviation suits and technical equipment.
Rather than drawing a garment, the focus was placed on the construction of a surface through fastening systems, padded structures and assembled components.
A first attempt to organise references into a coherent material language. by @strassmuseum

Placement study for a rhinestone bodysuit.
The embroidery was designed at pattern level, each piece developed individually before being assembled into the final garment.

Early research for a collection developed around references to aviation clothing and industrial equipment.
Drawings, material tests and embroidery samples were produced in parallel, each informing the next stage of development.
Read together, these fragments show how a visual language is progressively constructed before being applied to garments. by @strassmuseum

Placement drawing, full-scale paper prototype and final garment.
Three stages of the same project, presented in chronological order.

Sample studies developed from references to aviation suits and technical equipment.
Research focused on fastening systems, surface treatments and modular construction.
The objective was not a singular motif, but a vocabulary of components that could be combined, repeated and adapted across a collection. by @strassmuseum
