Traditional Painting Processes Converge With Open Source Fashion!
Ideas of story-telling and narrative in future couture clothing. A co-design melange by Susana Fernandez and Emma Neuberg.
Susana Fernandez, who worked recently with traditional carpet manufacturers, Real Fabrica de Tapices, in Madrid, paints her Cubo-Futurist painting inspired by artists such as Baranov-Rossine, Lyubov Popova and Natalia Goncharova and begins a process of transformation for the painting to be applied to Maison Martin Margiela’s open source dress pattern.
Some of the Slow Textiles Group Margiela dresses will be made in silk! Watch this space!

Taking a closer look at the ladies’ hats (especially the one on the far right), and the designs on sale, they pre-date Nathalie du Pasquier’s postmodern designs for Memphis by fifty years. (Not to mention nu rave).
Here they have been rearranged to create a digital narrative with history and humour. The experiments continue..

Over the next few weeks, we are experimenting at the juncture where slow, traditional, hand processes meet fast digitised ones to stimulate dialogue on surface pattern and new hybrid forms.
The aim, loosely, is to combine old with new, tradition with technology, in ways that offer new creative textile possibilities and textured digital forms.

Flash View! New Work for Animated Textiles
Repetitive Triangles II,
Emma Neuberg,
animated silkscreen print and plastic on paper,
2011.
Emma Neuberg develops ideas for the next Slow Textiles workshop (taking place at the V&A in September and October). These mark an experimental phase inspired by bringing Italian design house, Memphis, into the digital age.
The initial objective is to bring slow hand processes together with digital crafting for online dissemination and ‘new’ meaning.
Repetitive Triangles II builds upon old textile ‘re-animations’ that Emma created during the V&A Quilts exhibition last year:
