H||H Collection
The H|H Collection was designed with Studio HILO to explore the potential of developing new systems for woven textile-based form by building form from the fibre level up. Garments made this way are woven formed on the loom, using HILO yarn that is engineered specifically for the functional and aesthetic requirements of the design. Once woven, they only require cutting and a small amount of stitching if any at all for the exciting 3-D form to be realised. This approach can revolutionise how we make 3-D woven textile-based form, eliminating much of the manual labour currently required and enabling production to be localised closer to consumers.
