visvim® FW18 Product Introspection
For their latest dissertation, visvim gives us a closer look at the techniques and fabrics utilized throughout various pieces in their Autumn/Winter 2018 collection.
The dissertation provides a product introspection, focusing on two dye methods and a fabric. The first technique is Nui-jime utilized in their Nui-Jime Tunic P.O. jacket. This technique is used to create images or patterns by stitching threads onto the fabric, dying the material, then removing the embroidery threads, which leaves an imprint of the stitched areas.
Another dye technique widely used in the collection is the uneven dye as featured in their Selmer Cardigan, 3/4 Crew Sweat, and Basic Hoodie. This is crafted by either kago-zome and shibori-zome (tie-dyeing,) in which the fabrics are dyed multiple times while rolled up to create pleats, then rotated with cylinders to create unique patterns.
They also describe the Japanese Canvas used to make some of the coats and totebags as well as describing the High density nylon used on numerous of the outerwear pieces this season.
