Unique Properties: This collection of dresses is totally made from rubber rings by a new weaving technique suitable for annular materials. This technique would not do any harm to annular structure that all rubber rings in the dress are intact and can be reused. In addition, this technique does not need any professional tools or flexible skills that even the laymen without any experience of knitting can use this process easily.
Dimensions & Packaging: The whole collection is 5 look womenswear, size 4.
Tags: Fashion design, rubber ring skirt, new material, weaving process, green design
Production Technology: Ring structure material weaving technique. This weaving technique is different from traditional weaving process as the latter one always use the linear material as the main materials. Rather, this new weaving process is suitable for rubber ring or other ring materials, and during the weaving process it wouldn’t do any harm to the weaving materials as well as needn’t break the ring structure, in other words, all rubber rings in my weaving words are intact，and，all rubber rings in my works can be reused.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge of the project was how to apply a variety of non-clothing materials to the textile and convert them into wearable designs. In addition, how to find and apply these materials is also a very challenging thing. I finally combine these materials in a purely handmaking way by creative weaving process.
Research: This design is aim at breaking the boundary between "clothing" and "non-clothing" materials to find new possibilities in fashion design. In my opinion, the exploration and application of new materials are very important, and, new materials are not only means high-tech materials, but also means materials which can be found in our daily life, such as rubber rings, metal rings and so on. I hope my design is not just a garment but a work of art that can inspire people.
Inspiration: Girls dream to wear beautiful dresses like a stars, however, the high price put them off. Requirement of social etiquette that people should not wear the same dress in many times causes a certain amount of waste. I hope fashion is not just about the elaborate and expensive dresses on fashion shows, but something available to all of us. The goal was to find and use the materials that can be found in daily life, and, convert them into wearable designs and high fashion by an easily weaving technique. It does not require professional skill and special tools that every one can make dress by herself.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2020 in Guangzhou and finished in September 2020 in Guangzhou.
Operation Flow: This technology is suitable for annular structure materials. It can weave rubber rings together to be a reticular fabric and convert them into wearable designs but not cause any damage to the annular structure that all the materials inside the fabric are intact and can be reused. When we dislike this dress, we can take the rubber rings out and knit them into a new garment. In addition, it does not require professional skill and special tools that even laymen without any weaving experience can easily use this craft. Everyone can knit his own clothes easily by this way.
