I recently went to the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institute (IFFTI) Conference, in Manchester Metropolitan University (where I studied my MA). I presented my paper “Style before technology: Rethinking the design process for E-textiles garments” and was awarded the IFFTI Initiative Research Student Award, which came with a lovely $2000 USD prize! #conference #Manchester #MMU #etextiles #Wearabletechnology

As part of my final project, I developed a version of the Salla Dress by V&Urchin which incorporated fibre optics. It was a definitely a challenging process, as I haven't worked with fibre optics before and I haven't seen much in the way of knitting and fibre optics. #VUrchin #knitting #etextiles #yarn #knit #fashion #Wearabletechnology #MMU #Masters

Finally got around to making my second Masters project available to view! The project was based on the brief of "The Postmodern Project". It's quite a departure from my more textiles based work but it's an alternative take on the concept of "Wearable Technology".
