The submission represents a collection of original concepts and designs in textiles produced as a response to trend analysis and market directives for the Autumn/Winter season. The process is linked to the biennial focus upon the “Indigo” exhibition. The “Diversity Studio” conducts market analysis, creative development, product testing and materials investigation that leads to a new design collection every six months. The work involves trend analysis, contextual analysis of changing technology, social, political and economic conditions; which all inform the development of a series of cogent/creative designs that help drive the industry and its related economy. Although the process includes factor analysis and original interviews and research; it is instinctive vision that defines the final creative output. Dillon is the primary investigator of visual and materials trends and conceptual thinking for the partnership and sets the parameters for the new collection in consultation with the other members. The material strategy UNDERTAKEN: in the work this year focused on distortion of surface, which employed a mixture of machine techniques including intasia, inlay, stitch transfer and fabric manipulation.Citation
