The Design

About Xun Tecido de Argolas de Borracha

Este tecido é feito a partir de argolas de borracha através de uma técnica especial de tecelagem adequada para materiais anulares. Permite tecer argolas de borracha em conjunto para formar um tecido reticular e convertê-las em designs vestíveis sem causar qualquer dano à estrutura anular, mantendo todos os materiais do tecido intactos e podendo ser reutilizados. Além disso, não requer habilidade profissional nem ferramentas especiais, permitindo que até mesmo leigos sem qualquer experiência em tecelagem possam facilmente utilizar esta técnica. Qualquer pessoa pode tecer suas próprias roupas facilmente desta forma.

Unique Properties: This fabric 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 this fabric 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 1 look womenswear, size 4.
Tags: Textile of rubber ring, rubber,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 particularly 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, thin wires, shoelaces and so on. I hope my design is not just a garment but a work of art that can inspire people.
Inspiration: I have tried to learn how to knit sweaters from my mother when I was a kid, but the knitting process was so complicated for me as it required specific tools and exquisite craftsmanship that I never succeeded in making a garment. I wanted to find a knitting technique that was easy to study so that everyone could make clothes by themselves easily. It does not require professional skill and special tools that even laymen without any weaving experience can easily use this craft.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2018 in Guangzhou and finished in June 2018 in Guangzhou, and was exhibited in Guangdong Academic Forum for Graduate Students in October 2019.
Operation Flow: This technology is suitable for annular structure materials such as rubber rings. 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. 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.
