Long description

The series of textile design proposes the alternative way of processing the crepe fabric woven with high-twisted yarn which is called “chirimen” primarily produced for Kimono. Having inspired by the production procedure and the feature of crepe fabric, this way transforms the plain raw fabric into three-dimensional surface by laser-cutting and boiling. Combining newer technology into the traditional material has brought the surface unlike to the existing chirimen fabric.

This textile design has been developed to discuss how the unused part of chirimen fabric can be treated differently avoiding being wasted. Generally the textile industry produces a lot of waste during the manufacturing process, the chirimen fabric is not the exception – at least 2 yards will be wasted per a roll of the fabric. As this technique does not require large amount of the fabric to achieve it, any small pieces of the fabric can be processed for alternative use.
