ERINN SAVAGE – Performance
Tomorrow 15:00 GMT
Welcome to the Department of Fashion and Textiles at the Glasgow School of Art
The Master of Design in Fashion and Textiles is an advanced skills postgraduate programme designed to meet the ambitions of motivated fashion and/or textile graduates who wish to extend, develop and refine their design practice.
The programme welcomes two broad types of fashion design student, each of which has a characteristically different approach:
One can broadly be described as ‘Textile, or surface, led’ with a design approach considered to be from the ‘Textile-outwards’. The other can broadly be described as ‘Silhouette, or shape, led’ with a design approach considered to be from the ‘Silhouette-inwards’.
Textile-led fashion designers are more concerned with the surface (print, embroidery, decoration) or structure (weave) of the fabric in a garment and tend to think more in two dimensions when designing. Silhouette led designers are more concerned with the shape, cut, outline and construction of a garment and tend to think more in three dimensions when designing.
Knitwear is considered a hybrid activity as the structure of the knitted cloth and the shape of the knitted garment are considered simultaneously. The emphasis might be on knitted structures or fully fashioning.
Students on the programme are required to specialise in a surface or silhouette approach in order to give focus to and strengthen their individual area of expertise.
Enjoy the outcome of their efforts!

Behind the scenes and introduction to textile artist Yasmine Amani and her Masters Project.
A brief introduction to 'Transient Bodies', a behind the scenes look at the design process and how Covid-19 was navigated and its effect on the collection.
Undermining perception by obscuring pattern through 3D paper manipulation.
Inspired by the tradition of Kimono making, in which rectangular pieces of fabric are cut from a larger length called a 'tanmono', initial silhouette experimentations were conducted on the half-scale mannequin using varying lengths and thicknesses of tracing paper. Hand drawn lines were featured to explore moiré-inspired textile designs on transparent materials, being overlayed to create depth and obstruction.
Translating my textile work into 3D forms, I took inspiration from the artist Richard Sweeney and his work creating fluid structures from paper. The resulting paper forms will be used to help influence silhouette and possible textile designs
Close up details of fluid paper 3D forms for use as 2D textile research
Fluid structures envelope the stand, swirling around the figure, obscuring the body and flowing into each other to produce a new form.
Fluid paper forms suspended in motion.
Fabricated materials generated to accommodate the use of laser technology as a way of incorporating stretch whilst also maintaining a lightweight, wearable quality
Hand drawn lines are translated into a repeating linear motif which are then laser cut, with the graduating pattern distorting the body's form.
Exploring the reciprocal relationship between the textile and silhouette and how each influences the other.
Two-dimensional patterns are laser cut to produce flexile, three-dimensional materials which encompass and adapt to the shape of the wearer.
Utilising previous fluid paper structures as a guide, the pattern is manipulated into varying forms, transforming the three-dimensional textile structures generated when draped and worn.
Referring to the 'tanmono' and Kimono style of pattern cutting, double-sided squares of fabric were strategically cut to incorporate pattern, enhance malleability and produce a colourful aftereffect when in motion.
Laser cut wave patterns are strategically manipulated to follow new paths along the body, cascading naturally downward and obscuring the figure with pattern and shifts of colour.
Laser cut waves of fabric obstruct the body, revealing glimpses of the figure through moving shifts of colour.
Over 2000 individual laser cut lines are assembled to incorporate stretch and produce an aftereffect optical illusion - with lines shifting through patterns and colour faster than the eye can track.
Harmonic waves of blue graduate into vibrant red and encompass the stand.
Laser cut, reversible material developed to produce aftereffect optical phenomenon whilst in motion, obscuring the body with distorted pattern and shifting colour.
Combining laser cut materials and fluid forms to create dynamic silhouette explorations.
